>My favorite philosopher is Rene Guenon
What type of person do you imagine?

2019... I am forgotten

have you guys ever heard of this french writer named Rene Guenon? he wrote really interesting books about religious philosophy and metaphysics

I'll start with an obvious one

>*debunks philosophy*

Hello fellow traditionalists! Have you finished collecting the nigger cum from your wife's pussy for it's magical potency? Hehe stupid moderns, they will never attain real knowledge like us.

who hasn't been retroactively BTFO by parmenides and guenon?

No

>There is thus all the more reason to exercise extreme vigilance ... against anything that may lead the being to become "fused," or preferably and more accurately "confused" or even "dissolved," in a sort of "cosmic consciousness" that shuts out all "transcendence" and so also shuts out all effective spirituality. This is the ultimate consequence of all the anti-metaphysical errors known more especially in their philosophical aspect by such names as "pantheism," "immanentism," and "naturalism."

does anybody have the infographic guide for this gentleman's body of work?

What's the best criticism of your favourite author/philosopher?

What the fuck does he want?

I'd love to kick Rene Guenon in the head. Just take a few steps run up then catch him with the full force of my steel capped toe under his chin, send that little faggot flying through the air.

As he lies on the floor, coughing and wheezing and chocking on his own blood, his jaw a mangled mess of bones detached from the rest of his skull, I stand over him and laugh wickedly. He looks up at me in fear and pain, his eyes searching, begging me for mercy. He finds none. I raise my boot then stomp down, splitting his skull like a melon and finally ending his pathetic life

Why did he convert to Islam? Why not remain a Catholic? What about Orthodoxy? Why did he have leave Christianity?

Did any western philosopher ever try to mount a serious defense against Guenon's charges or did they pretty much all concede that he was right?

> tfw when you, as a Frenchman, do the most utterly untraditional thing a Frenchman at the time could possibly do (convert to Islam) and 90 years later, people on internet message boards call you a "traditionalist"

Something that I've noticed is that people who take an interest in Guenon, Sankara, Sufism etc and who express an antipathy towards 'multiplicity' typically suffer from inwards flaws that make them seek to disassociate them from themselves, to metaphysically 'cuckold' themselves out of existence as it were. They then project this attitude onto everything and everyone which is why like western buddhists and anglo protestants they take to proselytizing their newfound beliefs because it helps to fill the hole in their heart...

Everyone who obsesses over "traditionalist" philosophy and the above thinkers all do so because they have some ingrained flaw, either they are ugly, too short, don't have good social skills, unintelligent, the list goes on, either that or it's because they've messed up their life in some way. Reading these figures acts as a consolation because that way it helps one convince themselves that none of these things actually mattered or have real significance, because "only God is real lol', it functions as form of catharsis, it's all very transparent and amusing for me to observe...

>thought the caste system in India was good
why do you fags like him again?
