Integral Tradition Publishing

Integral Tradition Publishing (ITP) was an English-language publishing company based in London, United Kingdom which offered books, music and other products aimed at propagating traditional spirituality and anti-modernist ideals. In 2010, they were absorbed into the new Arktos Media.[1] ITP officially opened for business to the public via its Web site on the day of the Winter Solstice in 2006. The company’s official motto is Veritas Omnia Vincit (Latin: 'truth conquers all').[2]

ITP originally defined itself as being primarily a publisher of traditionalist literature. This is still one of the primary focal points of ITP’s work, but recently it has expanded its range to include more general works on spirituality, culture, political philosophy, and the problems of modern life. Some of the representative authors offered by ITP are Julius Evola, René Guénon, and Frithjof Schuon. They also offer books pertaining to metapolitical topics such as the European New Right, as well as books related to the Indo-European cultural and religious traditions.[2] When it first opened, ITP almost exclusively sold books, but in 2009 began selling CDs of music (and posters for groups) in the Neofolk genre.[3]

Most of the products offered by ITP were produced by other companies which fall within the purview of their stated mission. However, ITP published four books: Metaphysics of War by Julius Evola in 2007, the first English-language edition of several essays by Evola dating from the 1930s and '40s; Tradition and Revolution by Troy Southgate in 2007, which deals with contemporary political and social issues from a National-Anarchist perspective; and Pentti Linkola's Can Life Prevail?: A Radical Approach to the Environmental Crisis in 2009, which is about deep ecology and the environmental impact of modern society. ITP also published the first English edition of The Path of Cinnabar: An Intellectual Autobiography of Julius Evola in 2009.[4] In addition to its books, ITP also published a journal, The Initiate, which was an academic periodical that includes articles pertaining to traditional spirituality and metapolitical issues.[5]

The publishing arm of ITP consisted of two imprints: Traditio, which produced works concerning spirituality and the inner search for meaning; and Eos (Ἠώς), which publishes works that are critical of modern life and society.[6]
