>Guénon was reduced to alt-right and chan subc

René Guénon’s influence on the literary and intellectual life of his time has been recently documented in an impressive 1,200-page book by Xavier Accart, Guénon ou le renversement des clartés, which spans fifty years of French history and demonstrates the pervasive, if sometimes subterranean and implicit, impact of the works of the French metaphysician on personalities as diverse as André Gide, Simone Weil, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, and Henri Bosco. Upon going through the pages of Accart’s impressive volume, one is literally astounded by the breadth, and sometimes the depth, of Guénon’s presence in the intellectual landscape of France between 1920 and 1970, a presence that a cursory, conventional consideration of the French intellectual history of the time would not betray. Who would suspect prima facie that Guénon’s works have been known and appreciated by personalities as diverse as André Breton and Charles de Gaulle?

>> No.19324996

>>19324955
Again, none of that relevant in modern Academia. Guénon's influence died with intellectuals and is only propagated by alt-right ideologues that are using his critique of modern world for brainwashing deluded internet incels (such as yourself) into their political groups. Either that or insane conservatives using his rhetoric to save their own minds from the undeniable fact that the modern world proved their beliefs to be wrong. Welcome to the cult.

At this point I can't take seriously anymore a Guenon reader who doesn't know french and believes in the hilarious concept of a "traditionalist school". The english speaking fanbase of Guenon is really really bad, for many of them Guenon is just part of a phase.

how so? I am not suggesting that it has been proven right, but I fail to see how it is completely proven wrong, especially some of the prophetic nature in some of his works, especially the Reign of Quantity

It wasn’t just Guenon, but Schuon and Coomaraswamy too. Anyways, that doesn’t really detract from them, Shankara is great.

Shankara is the main reason why they didn't fall for the sentimentalist relogious exclusivism.kxrr

Exactly, therefore contrary to what /pol/tards say, talmudism isn't evil. All of the rich jewish bankers live a secular life and don't give a shit about Judaism.

i have only read the Reign of Quantity and Crisis of the Modern world, i am no more a zealot of Guenon than I am the likes of Marx or Nietzsche; who are both prophetic in their own way also

Neither would have existed if not for Guenon. Shankara is overrated and it's disappointing that Guenon builds you up to lead you to advaita metaphysics.

So? They dont view originality as praiseworthy in itself, they consider being in agreement with the truth as more important

It would be better to abstain from things which you don't know about. Coomaraswamy was a scholar on the topic of religion before he knew of Guenon and his point of view was also orthodox. Schuon was a "perennialist" from his youth, the work of Guenon only consolidated his views.
