In the appendix of "Revolt Against the Modern World," Julius Evola explores the concept of the Dark Age, or Kali Yuga, as described in the ancient Hindu text, the Vishnu Purana.
He draws parallels between the characteristics of this age and contemporary society, highlighting themes of moral decline, materialism, and the erosion of traditional values.
Evola discusses how rulers of the Dark Age are characterized by insatiable desires, short lives, and a lack of piety.
He also examines the breakdown of social order, the loss of spiritual authority, and the rise of economic and material values over spiritual ones.
Despite this grim outlook, Evola references the prophecy of a divine being who will descend to reestablish righteousness and bring about a new age of purity.
