Apstrakt

Određujući perenijalističku školu („Sofija Perenis“) ili tradicionalizma kao alernativni tok mišljenja u 20. veku, koji smatra da u osnovama svih vodećih svetskih religija postoje istovetne univerzalne istine kroz koje se manifestuju na različite načine a vode transcedentalnoj spoznaji, rad prvo posmatra odnos perenijalista prema istorijskim tokovima. Utvrđuje se da su perenijalisti zagovornici emanacionističkog cikličnog viđenja istorije koja počinje odvajanjem od Jednog i, opadajućim cikličnim fazama, vodi ka povratku Njemu. Nadalje se posmatraju različita perenijalistička viđenja dužine trajanja faza ovih ciklusa. U drugom delu, rad analizira tradiciolističko učenje Juliusa Evola, njegovu verziju istorijskog ciklizma i njen uticaj na kulturnu dinamiku i pokušava da pruži odgovor na pitanje zbog čega je Evolino viđenje istorijskih tokova praktično bez većih uticaja na savremeno proučavanje istorijske dinamike.
