>All writing is derivative to something. Islamic theology is derivative to the Qur'an. The writing of the mu'tazilites, similar to the writings of church father and apostles, were derivative of hellenistic philosophy. And early greek philosophy was derivative of eastern and egyptian thought as testified by the very philosophers of the time. To say all of them are derivative is somewhat doing a disservice to the past, it is more accurate to say they have expounded on early thought


As I said from the historicists point of view, ultimately all Traditions are derivative or branches stemming from the trunk of Primordial Tradition, and I am not denying the originality of this or that emergent civilisation, the Greek, the Islamic, etc. As far as I see here is nothing wrong with intellectual borrowings.

>No little Dark age No Aesthetic appeal
Not true in the least

>Name them
I will just point you to the 31,000 entries of the Suda

I could list works but I am not going to expend the effort, as it is relative, and wholly irrelevant- personally dependent, that I don't list them here does not in anyway lend credence to your point.

>So you're against Guénon
Fine then but you seem to like the "Aesthetics" of the photo.


I think I have answered all your points sufficiently, and justified why there is no reason for me to give you a "personal" list of books.
