Arturo Reghini and the Western Tradition #898896

The great mathematician, esotericist, and Freemason Arturo Reghini holds the undisputed credit for being the first intellectual of the 20th century to affirm the clear estrangement of Christian doctrine from the context of the purest and most genuine Western Tradition. And he did so in a way that authors of the caliber of Julius Evola and René Guénon could not.
The latter, in particular, fundamentally considered the West to be by then inevitably decadent and irrecoverable, and increasingly turned his gaze towards the East and Eastern traditions. Meanwhile, Evola soon abandoned the idea of a great and strong Hellenic-Roman and Mediterranean initiatic Tradition, arriving instead on the misty shores of a fallacious, racist Nordic-centric view that scorned all things Mediterranean and all Hellenic spirit. This is the same Evola who questioned the gradualistic continuity between the Lesser and Greater Mysteries and vehemently denied the exquisitely Etruscan origin of Roman spirituality and religiosity, claiming that a supposed "Aryan progeny", virile and solar, hailing from none other than the North Pole, had founded Rome, sweeping away the lunar and matriarchal "human sludge".
