| Résumé: | Since his death half a century ago, the legacy of Julius Evola (1898–1974) has been marked by a series of distortions, from basic biographical facts to serious misconceptions about the relation between the esoteric and political aspects of his work. This article assesses claims in publications from A. James Gregor, Hans Thomas Hakl, Gianfranco de Turris and others, contrasting them to the archival record and original editions of Evola’s texts. It offers reflections on the broader dynamics involved in the posthumous reception of a figure like Evola who consistently straddled the boundaries between esotericism and politics, examining what this case study can tell us about the challenges of scholarly engagement with such topics. |
