La tradizione è fondamentale per unire un popolo, perché si senta fortificato in tutti gli aspetti sociali. Se manca la tradizione manca il collante che unisce una certa etnia. Nel mondo moderno tutto è sfilacciato, tutto è stato banalizzato, nulla ha più importanza, tutto è fluido niente è certo. Ecco che i popoli diventano masse e non più persone con uno spirito libero.

Each work of Evola should also be put in the context of the phase of his career it is written in, to avoid misunderstandings, which Evola himself warned about. This essay was written in his "Men Among the Ruins" phase, where he still had some "hope" for countering latest subversive trends of his time. After this phase came Ride the Tiger phase in which he acknowledges that this world is completely left to itself, which means that there is no way to form anything which might be in any significant way to the idea of the Mannerbund, except maybe in the case of "differentiated man".

This essay was written in the 50s, so since then situation has became so much worse that it is maybe not even worth posting this essay.
