I reas this post roughly 4-5 years ago. Why are you resurrecting this stale pasta? Guenonfag isn't even active anymore. No one posts about Guenon anymore.

good., now you can stop wasting your time with medicore authors and read the true critics of modernity and the dead of spirituality,start reading Heidegger, he will actually blow your mind

Yup, specially a university professor, who either idealize non whites or are dreadfully afraid of saying anything that can be construed as racist such as calling a Muslim name “weird”.

To be fair, you're retarded for thinking Guenon was impressive, assuming this isn't bait that is.

Smart people couch this stuff in a question. I asked one of my professors if Rene Girard was worth reading and got one of the most hilarious rants I've ever heard in return. Unfortunately I can't recall much of it because it was 10+ years ago, I hadn't actually read much Girard and the criticisms were totally above my level.

You can know Girard isn't worth reading because he invokes "Judeo-Christianity" all the time in his work

[Anonymous No.20448166]

I always thought that Guenon looked like Walter

he's universally considered the greatest continental philosopher of the century,but that's besides the point to be honest, he created a system that adress all of Guenon's issues against the modern world in a more efficient way, Guenon ends up becoming an old dude scared of the inevitable changes of the world, Heidegger actually show you the metaphysical problems the new zeitgesit bring to humanity, Heidegger dig a lot depper just with his cocnept of Techne, that Guenon ever did with "the reign of quantity and the signs of the times" which ends up being a book full of shit a lot of people already said before
