Description

"Against the Modern World is the first history of Traditionalism, an important yet surprisingly little-known twentieth-century anti-modern movement. Comprising a number of often secret but sometimes very influential religious groups in the West and in the Islamic world, it affected mainstream and radical politics in Europe and the development of the field of religious studies in the United States, touching the lives of many individuals."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

volt against the Modern World was the work of Julius Evola, whom we will meet later. The Traditionalists who are discussed in this book constitute a movement in the loosest sense of the word.
