Insight into the ‘traditionalist’ mind series
caveat: Guenon’s traditionalism is slanted in favor of abrahamic religion and, though having its value, should be read with discernment to sort out the confusion of Abrahamism/magianism. For criticism of Guenon see ‘Against Traditionalism’ and ‘Criticism of Rene Guenon’
“René Guénon (1886-1951) is undoubtedly one of the luminaries of the twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood fast against the shifting sands of recent philosophies. His oeuvre of 26 volumes is providential for the modern seeker: pointing ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy, Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, at the same time it directs the reader to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the summit of spiritual realization.”
