Introduction/Overview of Perennial thought

[Anonymous No.17042761]

Pic rel, I've seen a bunch of books about the same subject, I'm wondering you guys would recommend as an overview and explanation of perennial/traditionalist philosophy.
Of course I plan to read Guenon and Evola, too.

Books refuting perennial philosophy would also be interesting.

Thanks anons.

The Sedgwick book is not good. Don’t waste your bucks.

Check out Huxley, he's way more important in this field than people give him credit for.
>Books refuting perennial philosophy would also be interesting.
No such thing, just sperging.

first realization is that evola was not part of the traditional school but a counter initiation agent. this is the mistake people like sedgwick commits (he goes as far as including dugin and others).

Seethe more. Evola and Guenon were friends and Guenon even suspected that Evola's spine injury was the work of counter-initiation occult agents.

no they were not. evola sent letters to praise guenon and he responded. is that friendship? you are already confusing things

Yes it is, retard. Do you write to strangers about the occult attacks you suffer? Because that's just what Guenon wrote to Evola about.

Eliade's 'From Primitives to Zen' is a good one. Is a sourcebook that shows the links between many faiths, highlighting the links between them. It does have an issue, which is that it does not include Christianity and Judaism in such sources, because Eliade thought his readers would probably know enough of those two religions to understand the point he is making.

friendship is defined by having the same goals. they did not. they just had the same enemies. ultimately evola is anti-traditionelle

No.

frauds, all of them, stop demeaning the value of world religions
the real pill is that perennialism is one of the most benign elements of "counter-tradition" out there

why do you need traditionalism when orthodoxy exists?

Do I need to read more than one of these? Don't they go over the same stuff.

Would help. If not just read Schuon's book in OP's pic (bottom right)

[Anonymous No.17046291]

>>17044859
yeah this. perennialism is insightful and fun to read at times but it's very flawed

Harry Oldmeadow provides a good overview of the Sophia Perennis and lists some book recommendations in the last part of the interview.

Can someone explain to me how Christianity and Buddhism could both point toward the same truths, despite the fact that both Christ and Buddha would obviously disagree? You're not saying all religions are true, you're saying they're all wrong.
