Re: nationalism and intellectuals.
Alright then.
Ortega y Gasset, Spanish philosopher. Best known for his work La rebelión de las masas (The Revolt of the Masses), but in Spain also for his España invertebrada (Invertebrate Spain).
Baron Julius Evola, Italian thinker and a prolific writer. Of his books, some of the best known are Rivolta contro il mondo moderno (Revolt Against the Modern World), Sintesi di dottrina della razza (Synthesis of the Doctrine of Race), and Gli uomini e le rovine (Men Among the Ruins).
Oswald Spengler, German historian and philosopher who wrote Der Untergang des Abendlandes (The Decline of the West) and Jahre der Entscheidung (The Hour of Decission? Not sure, the Spanish version translates as "Decissive Years").
