Rene Guenon is the most correct, smartest and most important person of the twentieth century. There was no smarter, deeper, clearer, absolute Guenon and probably could not be. It is no coincidence that the French traditionalist René Allé in one collection dedicated to R. Guenon compared Guenon with Marx. It would seem that there are completely different, opposite figures. Guenon is a conservative hyper-traditionalist. Marx is a revolutionary innovator, a radical overthrower of traditions. But Rene Halle rightly guessed the revolutionary message of each of Guenon's statements, the extreme, cruel noncomformity of his position, which turns everything and everything upside down, the radical nature of his thought.

The fact is that René Guenon is the only author, the only thinker of the twentieth century, and maybe many, many centuries before that, who not only identified and confronted with each other secondary language paradigms, but also put into question the very essence of language. The language of Marxism was methodologically very interesting, subtly reducing the historical existence of mankind to a clear and convincing formula for confronting labor and capital. Being a great paradigmatic success, Marxism was so popular and won the minds of the best intellectuals of the twentieth century. But R. Guenon is an even more fundamental generalization, an even more radical removal of masks, an even broader worldview contestation, putting everything into question.

- Aleksandr Dugin

Guénon undermined and then; with uncompromising intellectual rigour, demolished all the assumptions taken for granted by modern man, that is to say Western or westernised man. Many others had been critical of the direction taken by European civilization since the so-called 'Renaissance', but none had dared to be as radical as he was or to re-assert with such force the principles and values which Western culture had consigned to the rubbish tip of history. His theme was the 'primordial tradition' or Sofia perennis, expressed-so he maintained-both in ancient mythologies and in the metaphysical doctrine at the root of the great religions. The language of this Tradition was the language of symbolism, and he had no equal in his interpretation of this symbolism. Moreover he turned the idea of human progress upside down, replacing it with the belief almost universal before the modern age, that humanity declines in spiritual excellence with the passage of time and that we are now in the Dark Age which precedes the End, an age in which all the possibilities rejected by earlier cultures have been spewed out into the world, quantity replaces quality and decadence approaches its final limit. No one who read him and understood him could ever be quite the same again.

Not OP but thanks for effortposting anon, this was interesting to read.

I want to burn, to fly into the skies,
this imperfection of the human crust.
Becoming eternal like Guenon (pbuh),
who in great flames sits amongst the gods.
Already, my poor soul stung of its best,
within my flesh, the rebel walks itself,
Already the wood has been set to flames
to bring forth the great, bright rays of your eyes.
O saintly man! O chastely pretty fire!
Lo! burn me with your divine orb of fire,
as I leave the remains of my body.
Clean, pure, free I leap with a single bound,
up to the Heavens! to adore Guenon (pbuh)
the True Beauty who shines behind the sky.
-Anonymous

Guénon - the Truth, the Light never-ending,
All things are known to him,
His Word, with eternity blending,
Gnosis passing onto the dim;
Vanquishes He maya as a mere trifle,
Verily, peace be upon Him.

My dude you ought to read his hindu core
>intro to Hindu doctrines
>studies in Hinduism
>man and his becoming according to the Vedanta

It will lay such a deep metaphysical foundation that it will change your life for the better.
It’s not even that many pages

yeah I'm thinking PBUH

>lol yes he does, that's the whole point of the categories, that they're universal,
the reflexive awareness of consciousness and the self-disclosure of sentient presence that this involves is non-discursive or non-conceptual and so it doesn't involve the kantian categories as they have to do with the understanding and grasping of phenomena by the intellect; there is no process of understanding or application of ideas/mental schemata or other mental discursivity involved in the non-conceptual naturally-present autoawareness of the consciousness that illumines all discursive content and this consciousness is beyond both acceptance and rejection

Paul Deussen has a short monograph originally published in german but which is now translated called "Vedanta Plato and Kant", I don't know about Aristotle but a Jesuit priest has a book called "Theology After Vedanta" in which he does a serous comparison of Advaita Vedanta and Scholastic/Thomistic metaphysics

>not really, you're taking for granted that the intelect "needs" the awareness, but you're using an idea of awareness in this precise moment, that is you need the idea of awareness to be aware of awareness
There is no proof whatsoever that you need the idea of awareness to be aware of awareness; you are just pointing to there co-association in the present moment and/or human life generally as somehow being a proof of their interdependence, but the mere fact of two things being apparently associated with one another itself proves nothing about their dependence on either each other or anything else, as two things that are not dependent on each other can become temporarily associated with one another for an endless amount of reasons like two strangers who have nothing to do with each other both sitting on the same bench or train carriage etc; the whole crux of your argument relies on a nonsensical and totally unjustified leap of logic that is really pseudologic.

pbuh
