Essays on Magical Idealism

Essays on Magical Idealism (Italian: Saggi sull'idealismo magico) is the first major philosophical work of Italian esoteric Julius Evola, published in 1925.[1] At the outset of the book, Evola explains that book's subject is the many crises faced by what he calls the "modern spirit".[1] According to scholar A. James Gregor, Evola presents problems in this work that are fundamentally epistemological, "advocat[ing] a 'suprarational' or 'sacred,' as distinct from a 'profane,' science [that is] 'universal' and 'infallible.'"[2]
