The nobility must awaken, or else resign itself to perish, and not even gloriously: to perish by corrosion and fatal submersion. To awaken - that means: to become once more, at any cost, a political class.Metaphysics of Power is a collection of Julius Evolas powerfully argued articles organised into areas key to Evolas thought: the State, Education, Family, Liberty & Duty, Monarchy, Empire, Modern Society, and Aristocracy. Coursing through much of Evolas work represented here is the key notion of the four-caste system: king, warrior, merchant, and laborer; which is clearly explicated in Decline of the Idea of the State and often referred to in other articles. The theme - namely the deviation from this ancient and nearly universal tradition - is part of the bedrock of Evolas critique on why the modern state often fails. Various articles in this work touch on sensitive themes and demonstrate Evolas nuanced approaches to issues such as divorce, the Catholic Churchs understanding of marriage, and individualism, but also handle with humor educational approaches such as the Montessori School, feminism, bureaucracy, and Europes modern nobility. Most of these articles are translated here for the first time and offer the reader - in strong, erudite English matching Evolas strong, erudite Italian - a deeper dive into Evolas thoughts, philosophy, and opinions, while the tone of these articles ranges from patient and pedagogical to brutal and scathing. Metaphysics of Power represents a must-have for the seasoned disciple of Evolas philosophy, but is also a unique opportunity for the novice in traditionalist studies as it offers smaller, tighter explanations of Evolas views on key issues.
