Integral Tradition Publishing
Integral Tradition Publishing (ITP) was an English-language publishing company based in London, United Kingdom which offered books, music and other products aimed at propagating traditional spirituality and anti-modernist ideals. It officially opened for business to the public via its Web site on the day of the Winter Solstice in 2006. It was founded by Patrick Boch, a Polish-born member of the Bar of England and Wales, and Jacob Christiansen, a Danish university student. The company’s official motto is Veritas Omnia Vincit (Latin: 'truth conquers all').[1]
ITP originally defined itself as being primarily a publisher of traditionalist literature. This is still one of the primary focal points of ITP’s work, but recently it has expanded its range to include more general works on spirituality, culture, political philosophy, and the problems of modern life. Some of the most representative authors offered by ITP are Julius Evola, René Guénon, and Frithjof Schuon. They also offer books pertaining to metapolitical topics such as the European New Right, as well as books related to the Indo-European cultural and religious traditions.[2] When it first opened, ITP almost exclusively sold books, but it has now begun selling CDs of the Neofolk genre and posters as well.[3]
Currently, most of the products offered by ITP are produced by other companies which fall within the purview of ITP’s stated mission. However, to date ITP has published four books: Metaphysics of War by Julius Evola in 2007, the first English-language edition of several essays by Evola dating from the 1930s and ‘40s; Tradition and Revolution by Troy Southgate in 2007, which deals with contemporary political and social issues from a National-Anarchist perspective; and Pentti Linkola’s Can Life Prevail?: A Radical Approach to the Environmental Crisis in 2009, which is about deep ecology and the environmental impact of modern society. ITP has also published the first English edition of Julius Evola’s autobiography, The Path of Cinnabar: An Intellectual Autobiography, in 2009.[4] In addition to its books, ITP also publishes a journal, The Initiate, which is an academic periodical that includes articles pertaining to traditional spirituality and metapolitical issues.[5]
The publishing arm of ITP consists of two imprints: Traditio, which produces works concerning spirituality and the inner search for meaning; and Eos (Ἠώς), which publishes works that are critical of modern life and society.[6] In 2010 they changed their name to Arktos Media.
