How have Guenon's books, especially picrel, influenced the way you see the world?

>>18552281
possibly the greatest work of the 20th century

I'm four chapters in and I have no clue what's going on.

Post the best critiques of modernity you've ever read. Can be from the left or right, religious or secular.

Evola is emotional and is fun to read, he is autistic in putting a million references but i like that as you can see where he is coming from

Guenon is meticulous but he is no fun and he rarely references much of what he says, he is more like preaching to young retards from an older kind wiser guy with no time for bullshit

read Guenon, once art started to signal individuality in general it was already lost

also yes, read guenon too, as Evola was a bit warped in his traditionalism and had some modern deviations in his thinking

crisis is ok as a short introduction but here is a superior book reporting in

>philosophical
haven't read that one, but i don't think Evola wrote a lot of philosophy beyond some essays when he was young, according to traditionalists "traditional wisdom" or whatever you want to call it predates philosophy and is superior to philosophy as it uses supra-rational methods while philosophy can't see beyond the realm of the rational

whether you fall for this meme or not is your decision, but that's the standpoint of most traditionalist writers, so be careful and don't confuse them with modern "le IQ" right wingers

Schelling yes

Fichte yes but interpreting his system is difficult and people aren't really agreed on how to do it

Try reading the Fichte chapter in the book "Hegel's Idealism" to get a sense of how hard it is
