ah cool
How do I into Coomaraswamy? Is he worth reading? I've read a few of Guenon's books.

>> No.19749711

>>19749695
Coomaraswamy is very academic but his views are similar to Guenon's, unless you are interested in a particular subject of his books, you will probably find him boring. Reading order is irrelevant here, just read based on what topic you are interested in.
