Guenon alone influenced a huge range of people including many leftist/socialist authora and surrealists, many far-right authors and thinkers including Carl Schmitt, and also influenced many of the most famous religious scholars like Huston Smith and Mercea Eliade among others. He is credited as being one of the first Europeans who wrote about the eastern doctrines accurately and many eastern figures praised him and referred to him as such.

And that's just Guenon, when you include Schuon, Lings, Commaraswamy, Evola, Buckheart, Dugin they were a huge influence on society. The media doesn't fawn over them and promote because they go against everything the liberal elite Atlanticist faux-egalitarian establishment stands for but that doesn't change that they were a huge influence on society.

In addition to influencing many important thinkers and authors in the west, they also influenced many authors and thinkers in the east. Guenon is well-regarded and relatively well-known in India and the middle east.

The traditionalist school as laid much of the groundwork for the new age movement in the 60's and neo-vedanta.

They influenced people of all political types from far-right to far-left and also had a significant impact on the study of religion.

The increasing popularity of them in the past decade as more and more people rediscover them only reinforces the point.
