Very interesting. Thank you.

One more question: How would you describe his attitudes towards Christianity? I think it was in a Bowden lecture I heard Bowden say that Evola had called himself at one time a 'Catholic Pagan' which I always found interesting.

Personally, I have not seen him refer to himself in that way. I have seen a lot of his writings on Christianity, though. Generally speaking, he did not like it. Still, he was willing to acknowledge the value of all traditional elements of Christianity and openly stated that if the Catholic Church was to again endorse the Syllabus, he would support it and consider it an important ally. However, he lived long enough to see Vatican II and was very pessimistic about the ability of the church to play a positive role. His opinion of Protestantism was even lower.
