Summary: "The organizations and institutions that, in a traditional civilization and society, allow 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 being 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 re embrace Tradition. Book jacket."--Jacket.
