>Guénon was a brainle-
He was proficient at Greek, Latin, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Sanskrit, Hebraic, Arabic and Chinese, was trained in mathematics and was extremely well-read in both eastern and western philosophy
>Guénon was a stupid posing larpe-
He was initiated into both a Vietnamese Taoist Triad as well as the al-'Arabiyya Shadhiliyya Sufi order, furthermore in all his writings he stressed the need for personal and genuine participation in whatever Traditions one aspired to follow. His acquaintances both Egyptian and western observed that he scrupulously followed Islamic observances during his life in Egypt
>Guénon was a literal nobody, he was not influenti-
Among the many western philosophers, artists and authors who were influenced by him or who heaped praise on him include Carl Schmitt, Georges Bataille, Aleksander Dugin, Antonin Artaud, Olavo de Carvalho, André Breton, Mircea Eliade, Alain Danielou, Julius Evola, André Malraux, Albert Gleizes, René Daumal, Raymond Queneau, Paul Ackerman, Huston Smith, William Chittick, Steve Bannon, Harry Oldmeadow, James Cutsinger and Hossein Nasr. Furthermore as Nasr notes in his article 'The Influence of Rene Guenon in the Islamic World', Guénon is well-known and influential among the intelligentsia including traditional Islamic scholars in certain Islamic countries such in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Malaysia. Guénon is also taught in some 'history of western esoterism/mysticism' classes at the few universities which offer them.
>Guénon just made a bunch of stupid and unjustified comparisons between religio-
To the contrary over the course of some twenty odd books he painstakingly and patiently elucidated the fundamental agreement between the metaphysics of Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Sufism, Hermeticism and Christian esoterism, work that Coomaraswamy built on and further confirmed

>Guenon hasn't even killed an infidel before
Blasphemy. Rene 'The Kuffar Destroyer' Guenon (pbuh) has retroactively vanquished many a kuffar during his life in the Holy City of Cairo.

>Thus the life of Saint Bernard could be seen as a ***refutation in advance*** [une réfutation anticipée] of the errors of rationalism and pragmatism
Holy based! Guenon (pbuh) himself uses the sacred wording...

Cringe. You are just defiying a metanarrative. Capitalism is just a more unique metanarrative as it can spontaneously create simulacrum to justify its existence, but all in all, capitalism is only justifiable by materialism - this is why Angloids should all be genocided.

No.

Evola, Guenon, and Crowley literally retroactively refuted everyone else on this list.

Geunon is not right-wing; he transcends such profane dualities.

>I will begin reading it immediately.
Based. I would add to the other brother's suggestion and recommend inculcating oneself in the γνῶσις hidden within his The Multiple States of the Being. It is recommended to read each verse and repeat it numerous times until it penetrates the higher intellect; this will allow one to peer into the deeper layers of meanings in Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta.
