In Evola’s view, modern racism, grounded solely in phenotypic and craniological traits, is itself a form of materialist degeneration that disregards the spirit and equates the human being with the animal.

The conditioned mindset of modern man inevitably gravitates toward the superficial, materialist interpretations of the 20th century; interpretations that reduce human worth to biological and genetic components.

But in Evola’s thought, an individual who possesses the purest physical traits yet harbors a servile, materialistic spirit that shrinks from death is devoid of any authenticity or worth. His contemporary revival of the concept of race represents an attempt to restore an inner nobility to the dehumanized modern individual; the aim is to cultivate a person who stands firm as a pillar amidst the chaos of the modern world, viewing life not as a realm for endless hedonism, but as an arena for struggle, self-sacrifice, and transcendence.
