Review

“Evola is one of the most interesting minds of the [world] war generation.” (Mircea Eliade, author of The Sacred and the Profane)"One of the most difficult and ambiguous figures in modern esotericism." (Richard Smoley, in Parabola)"Evola looks beyond man-made systems to the eternal principles in creation and human society. The truth, as he sees it, is so totally at odds with the present way of thinking that is shocks the modern mind." (John Mitchell, author of The New View Over Atlantis)"It is one of Evola's greatest merits that he combines a prodigious wealth of erudite detail with the gift of isolating from their local conditioning ideas or disciplines that are of value to us." (Marguerite Yourcenar, author of Memoirs of Hadrian)"Evola rises above the usual dichotomies of left and right, liberal and conservative, challenging us to reconnect our lives and our institutions to the timeless spiritual standard that guided our ancestors." (Glenn A. Magee, author of Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition)"Ride the Tiger offers a practical view of how to be truly awakened in a dark age." (Robert Burns, New Dawn, Sept-Oct 2005)". . . this is an important work for an intellectual history of the twentieth century. . ." (The Journal of Esoterica, July 2006)“A dazzling and interesting, but very dangerous author . . .” (Hermann Hesse, author of Siddhartha)"Simply put, Evola shows, unintentionally but with passion, why European Tradition may not be able to match East Asia in riding the tiger in today's world. It lacks a spirituality for today's mundane world, tempered by the harsh realism of Daoism and the practical disciplines of Confucianism." (Reg Little, New Dawn, No. 121, Jul/Aug 2010)

From the Back Cover

WESTERN SPIRITUALITY / HERMETICISM “It is one of Evola's greatest merits that he combines a prodigious wealth of erudite detail with the gift of isolating from their local conditioning ideas or disciplines that are of value to us.” --Marguerite Yourcenar, author of Memoirs of Hadrian “Evola rises above the usual dichotomies of left and right, liberal and conservative, challenging us to reconnect our lives and our institutions to the timeless spiritual standard that guided our ancestors.” --Glenn A. Magee, author of Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition The organizations and institutions that, in a traditional civilization and society, would have allowed an individual to realize himself completely, to defend the principal values he recognizes as his own, and to structure his life in a clear and unambiguous way, no longer exist in the contemporary world. Everything that has come to predominate in the modern world is the direct antithesis of the world of Tradition, in which a society is ruled by principles that transcend the merely human and transitory. Ride the Tiger presents an implacable criticism of the idols, structures, theories, and illusions of our dissolute age examined in the light of the inner teachings of indestructible Tradition. Evola identifies the type of human capable of “riding the tiger”--an individual who may transform destructive processes into inner liberation--and, in so doing, offers hope for those who wish to reembrace Tradition. JULIUS EVOLA (1898-1974) was one of the leading authorities on the world’s esoteric traditions and wrote extensively on ancient traditions and hermeticism. Among his other works published by Inner Traditions are Men Among the Ruins, Introduction to Magic, The Mystery of the Grail, The Hermetic Tradition, and Eros and the Mysteries of Love.

I will state from the outset that I do not subscribe to Evola's extreme right wing (or "traditionalists) politics, but that's ok. This book (and this author) is not first and foremost about politics, but is rather about how to conduct ones life along metaphysical dimensions in a society that has gone mad.Ride The Tiger explores all sorts of themes that have interested me for well over a decade: The Death of God, Existentialism, Altered States of Consciousness, and all sorts of other things philosophical and esoteric.Evola's premise goes something like this: The modern age is the end of a cycle, one that begins with a golden age, and then a silver age, and then a bronze age, and then finally an iron age (or "Kali Yuga"). The golden age is characterized by man living in perfect unity with the divine or transcendent. Each further age moves further and further away from the divine/transcendent until it reaches the Iron age, which is characterized by an almost total disparity between how we live and how a mature, spiritually realized individual or people's ought to live.Evola's advice for trying to live a spiritually fulfilling life in such an age is to "Ride The Tiger", which means that one jumps upon the monster that is this age and lives among it but not with any attachment to it. Even though Evola is a radical Traditionalist, he does not call upon his disciples to try and change the current state of affairs through political action, but rather he calls upon his disciples to live a noble, traditional, spiritually fulfilled life and let the forces of external chaos plays themselves out. This is something that many of his followers should probably pay heed to. Because to go on some political crusade in the name of traditional values is antithetical to Evola's own teachings. We are not to concern ourselves with politics, or if we do, we are only to concern ourselves with it as a vehicle for self transformation, not for the purpose of changing political outcomes.My favorite part of this book is when the author confronts Nietzsche, existentialism, and nihilism, and attempts to show what is valuable in all of these movements and what is damaging and needs to be discarded.This is a great book for seekers of something beyond the mundane, regardless of your politics.

This book is not for everyone. If you're looking for a casual read to pass the time or to "entertain" you, don't even bother. This book is for the individual seeking direction from above. For a higher source of beauty away from the emptiness and constant fluctuations of the modern world.The main focus of the book is on the "differentiated" individual and how this "model type/traditional individual" should go about living day to day in an empty and mad world. It is somewhat of a guide to seeing things objectively day to day and taking meaning from everything the modern world has to offer without having it taint your inner spirit, or your inner traditional calling.I recommend this to anyone who feels like an outsider or stranger in their contemporary society, who constantly struggles to find beauty in places where none no longer look, the world of tradition.

_Ride the Tiger: A Survival Manual for the Aristocrats of the Soul_ by Italian counter-revolutionary theorist Baron Julius Evola is a manual for a certain spiritual type of man - the man of Tradition - faced with the nihilistic reality of the modern world. Tradition is characterized by a recognition of transcendence and hierarchy as opposed to the mass levelling which has taken place in modernity - at root in nihilism. Evola, a gloomy figure on the marginalized radical right in postwar Italy, writes of the modern world as witnessing a new dark age, the Kali Yuga of Indian tradition (as noted by the father of Traditionalism, Rene Guenon). In the philosophy of Traditionalism, the world is said to have fallen from a past Golden Age (as witnessed to by the ancient Greeks, Hesiod, and the Hindus) and approaching the end of a cycle has entered the Kali Yuga, an era characterized by dissolution. Kali is a dark goddess of sexuality and orgiastic rites in Hindu mythology - said to be asleep in previous eras but in the Kali Yuga said to be wide awake. The modern age is characterized by the "death of God" (the end of the transcendent), the beginning of European nihilism as explained by Nietzsche. In such a world, the spiritual type Evola writes for is totally alienated. Topics covered in this book include Nietzsche's philosophy and the world in which "God is dead", the "lost youth" and the postwar generation of Beatniks, the dead end of existentialist philosophies, Heideggerianism and Husserlian phenomenologies, the new physics and scientism, moral decline, an excursus on drugs, the failure of modern art, sexuality and marriage, the "new religiosity, and death. Evola finds little to recommend for his ideal type except for a sort of neo-Gnostic complete withdrawal from the modern world characterized by what he terms "apolitea". In terms of Tradition, little remains left to recognize and hierarchy has been completely abolished. This form of apolitea may be described as "riding the tiger", a Far Eastern saying meaning that if one succeeds in riding a tiger not only does one avoid having to leap on one, but one may eventually get the better of it. This is Evola's only recommendation for coming to terms with modernity and making one's way across the Kali Yuga that completes the traditional cycle. As in his previous book _Revolt Against the Modern World_, Evola offers many profound insights into both the nature of modernity and the means for achieving counter-revolution giving the prevailing winds of the time.

very good read

Explores the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of traditionalism. Very interesting

Evola's almost reckless advice is for very wise people who have a strong sense of proportion; it is not for weak minded people who want to exhibit power or force. In a nutshell, we are born in modernity, crouched on the back of the Tiger. For Evola modernity is decadence, atomism, mass beliefs, urban myths, propaganda topics, consumerism, social conformity and social fear, essentially fear. This reality faces us with a dilema: or we choose with gallantry individual self-realization and personal growth through Perennial Tradition disciplines made available to us through modern media ( a paradox of our times ) or we dissolve ourselves in an illusory World whose lack of substance and cinicism we wilfully choose not to bother ourselves with.
