Defunct Revolt Against the Modern World (Italian: Rivolta contro il mondo moderno) is a book by Julius Evola, first published in Italy in 1934.

The second part deals with the modern world, contrasting its characteristics with those of traditional societies: from politics and institutions to views on life and death.

Evola denounces the regressive aspects of modern civilisation, and instead argues for a traditionalist society.

[2] The book influenced Mircea Eliade and other thinkers in the Traditionalist school, as well as the European Nouvelle Droite.

It follows the indication of the way in which the man of the tradition conceives law, war, property, relations between the sexes, immortality, and race.

[7][page needed] Once Evola characterizes traditional societies, he proceeds to dive into his metaphysical views of gender roles.
