    Revolt Against the Modern World is a book by Julius Evola, first published in Italy in 1934. Described as Evola's most influential work, it is an elucidation of his Traditionalist world view.

Kopff, who's written a book about America's need for classical tradition, argued for the death penalty based on the extensive history of cultures and Christian thinkers who supported it. "The widespread acceptance of capital punishment … in so many different cultures and nations is a solid argument in its favor," he said. In Western tradition, he mentioned ancient Jews, Greeks and Romans who acknowledged the right to capital punishment. The Church's Council of Trent and leading Christians like Pope Pius XII, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas all wrote in favor of it, even using logical arguments not based on tradition, he said.
