>>20006847

>>20006872
You will return to them or find a good one to add.

>>20006847
>Plato, Böhme,laozi,zhuangzi

those are good, all the rest are trash

PBUH

Keep us in the straight path, not “paths”

>>20006894
meister eckhart is also good

>>20006909
There are as many paths to God as there are souls on the Earth.

Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī

>>20006847
Nah I'm good.

>>20006847
Imagine letting someone else tell you what is real and true and live in your head rent free kek
philosophy fags are the biggest cucks imaginable

>>20006847
In all seriousness, aside from Eckhart, Schuon, Laozi, Coomaraswamy, Eriugena, some of Guenon, those are mostly trash

>>20007008
Being a cuck used to be a good thing. Apparently...

>>20006990
If you think Rumi is above the Quran (and therefore a higher authority than Allah) then you are not a Muslim desu. The Quran refers to the path as one path over and over and other paths as deviation

>>20007016
Cope.

>>20007011
Abhinavagupta is good tf you mean
>>20006847
Don't forget to add Nagarjuna and Heraclitus while you're at it.

>>20007130
I am not a muslim and idc about your literalist interpretation of the Quran, if I think that there is truth in Islam is because of people like Rumi, not you

>>20007161
Well I don’t know about your literalist interpretation of Rumi

>>20006847
based...

>>20006975
ups you're right! meister eckhart is also great

>>20007008
none of those authors are philosophers anon

Ibn Arabi refutes Guenon though.

>>20009202
how?

>>20006847
>Dattatreya
absolutely based

>>20006847
They all contradict each other in some way or another.

>>20009311
>you want us to read these guys? hehe, well, did you know these writers didn't agree on absolutely everything all the time? sorry buddy.

>>20006847
Quite the list you've got there OP, extremely fucking based if I do say so myself.

>>20009375
They are arguing for complete different philosophies and metaphysics.
So the "list" doesn't really point to anything else than the authors being le based pundits? Very cool indeed, you are so traditional.

>>20006847
I thought this board had finally moved on from the utter lunacy of guenonfag, but apparently not. See you in another two years, maybe things will finally have improved by then!

>>20007008
you are not immune to this chud

>>20009572
I saw this thread on warosu and reposted it kek

>>20009572
Good riddance

>>20009664
Based

>>20009489
If I had to guess, based on the priority of Shankara, Platonists, and Muslims the list is supposed to be of substance monists, or of philosophers seeming to have atman-equivalents as per tardlarp exegesis. What confirms this was the intention is that the list seems to have gone out of its way to include several Buddhists: Dolpopa (Tibetan), Dorje (Tibetan), and Asanga (Indian), probably because of uncritical acceptance of Gelug doxographers reading of these Buddhists' readings of tathagatagarbha as being heterodox to the prasangika Madhyamaka of Nagarjuna, Chandrakirti, and Tsongkapa. In any case it would probably take the average person years of study to understand that particular debate front and back. I can only imagine how muddled the rest of the list is.

>>20006847
>Guenon
>used opium to meditate
Just fucking lmao, literally the modern hipster equivalent of people who are like, totally spiritual man, because they once ate LSD in a forest.

>>20009731
Beat me to it.

>>20009773
>opium
>hinduism
>THIS GUY MUST BE A NEW-AGER
educate yourself, pleb. Guenon's taoist master learnt how to use opium from authentic chinese taoists

>>20009572
You can't move on from the essence of the board itself.

>>20009572
he's still here, he was more active in 2021 but only in antibuddhism threads and the jivas are brahman / jivas are not brahman endless debate. he still mostly recommends sharma so he partly just ran out of material, probably got boring even for him.

i like that /lit/ is now able to talk about guenon without him being involved again, i see guenon come up when its actually relevant more often now and without it spiraling into a meme conversation.

>>20009731
This

>>20007008
there was a philosophy major anon here who told someone he will never have an original thought.
he's right. people like you have their head filled with a bunch of garbage ideas that are not even original, it's just that you don't know they aren't.
other people, who are not obsessed with illusory originiality-- and care about truth instead, read books with good thoughts, and their thoughts are better than yours.
