Is Traditionalist literature worth reading, specifically Guenon?

[Anonymous No.16048233]

I'm well aware Guenon is kind of a meme around here, but I want your serious opinions. Is he a real philosopher, or just some pseud? Is it worth my time to read some of his works? From some cursory reading his ideas seem... interesting, to say the least. What do you more philosophically knowledgeable anons think about his ideas, or Traditionalist philosophy in general?

why don't you just open the book and start reading
even if you eventually won't like it wasting time on that is better than wasting time here

You mean to tell me you don't believe Atlantis is real?

No it's not. Too bad because they were correct about niggers and decided to write nigger-tier shit about stuff they didn't know about instead of warning people about the nigger menace. Too bad they became famous over and above HBD/statistics/hatefacts people. Too late now though.

Guenon was a member of the Martinist Order, which was involved in a lot of shady shit throughout history. Something must have spooked him pretty good that caused him to write about the counter-tradition and believe occultists in Paris were trying to kill him.

Yeah being a dumb schizo who didn't write anything important will do that to you.

It's funny to see european muslim websites referring to Guenon to attack the West, I thought he'd be too orientalist
