Castes And Races by Julius Evola

This publication contains materials devoted to two aspects of the most important issue regarding the differences between people: ‘vertical’ division by internal nature and ‘horizontal’ division by hereditary (physical and psychic) characteristics. As a kind of introduction, the collection begins with a rather small article by the famous French Traditionalist thinker René Guénon (18861951) named ‘The Hindu Caste System’. Guénon briefly describes the caste system on the example of India, indicating that ‘the caste corresponds to the nature of each person, that is, to his profound vocation’.
