The Ur Group: Massimo Scaligero

Massimo Scaligero was an author, esotericist and connoisseur of oriental philosophy. A protégé of Giovanni Colazza during their time in the Ur Group, his work combined esotericism and anthroposophy with right-wing ideology in a system which sought to unify Germany and Italy as it did the spiritual and the material realms.His philosophical and spiritual development was significantly influenced by Julius Evola, whose traditionalist and esoteric ideas played a crucial role in the formation and direction of the UR Group. Scaligero adopted and further developed many of Evola's esoteric teachings, particularly those related to spiritual transformation and initiation.The present collection of Scaligero's work includes his metaphysical treatise on Initiation and Tradition, the extensive practical work on meditation Techniques of Inner Concentration, and a comparison of Eastern and Western paradigms in Zen and Logos.
