>It should be noted too that under the influence of the very recent idea of ‘progress’, ‘philosophies of becoming’ have, in modern times, taken on a special form that theories of the same type never had among the ancients: this form, although it may have multiple varieties, can be covered in general by the name ‘evolutionism’. We need not repeat here what we have already said elsewhere on this subject; we will merely recall the point that any conception allowing for nothing other than ‘becoming’ is thereby necessarily a ‘naturalistic’ conception, and, as such, implies a formal denial of whatever lies beyond nature, in other words the realm of metaphysics— which is the realm of immutable and eternal principles. We may point out also, in speaking of these anti-metaphysical theories, that the Bergonian idea of pure duration’ corresponds exactly with that dispersion in instantaneity to which we alluded above; a pretended intuition modeled on the ceaseless flux of the things of the senses, far from being able to serve as an instrument for obtaining true knowledge, represents in reality the dissolution of all possible knowledge.

Happy Birthday Monsieur Geunon

What would a world constructed in Guenon’s image look like?

>>16018462
>Kant
He was BTFO by Guenon and should be discarded and ignored

>>16004291
>Is the guenon phase over?
The Guénon phase will never be over, because his conclusions are inescapable

>>16004677
>periodical reminder that Žižek is the Marx of our generation
yawn, both are irrelevant

Why does he look microcephalic?

>Study history, philosophy and literature
>Become Islamic traditionalist

Anyone else???

Jesus Christ. Why are Rene Guénon and Evola such windbags?
They aren't even trying to be poetic, they just draw out their damn points for pages.
I could sum up the entirity of The Reign of Quantity, look
"By Quality and Quantity, I basically mean immaterial and material. Modern society, with it's Scientism and Social Progressivism has put such an amount of emphasis on the material that it's almost the apocalypse. We need to focus on Metaphysical Concepts nao."

I would understand if they were trying to be poetic. I would understand if they're trying to tell a story along with it. But they're just drawing out their sentences like a lazy college student trying to write an essay.

hey /lit/ I started reading guenon,
i am quite interested in tradition.
what will you advise me to read?
by or not by Rene.
>my english is shit so french is welcome but not necesary

Forget all of this stuff, we all know that one man has already solved Metaphysics, infallibly, for all time.

I took the bait. All these damn threads on Non-Dualism and Guénonposting pushed me over the edge. What do I read first? Or is it just a meme that I shouldn’t dive into?

Why is this guy so popular here? It's not just Guenonfag that spams him. His ideas are shit. This retard, along with his disciples Schuon, Nasr, and others, thought basic scientific theories like evolution were false. Grade A brainlet. We can forgive him because he lived in a time when humans did not know such things were brute facts, but his followers know just how dumb it is to hold such views today.

I'm new to /lit/ tell me about him and his best work

He seems to be an esoteric traditionalist which seems fun

Someone explain this, please. Why were there so many threads about him recently.
What books to read from him?

>>14749330
Decimated by Rene Guenon.

Explain his ideas and why you shill him

Is this board kill?
There's hardly any threads with more than 25 replies in the catalog
Did guenonposting kill it?

Why did this monkey retroactively refute Whitehead? Doesn't he realize that his Vedanta-shit is unappealing to everyone but losers?
