I read it (first Guenon book) and loved it. Very digestible imo and it also helped me understand a lot of the weirder aspects of Revolt (which I chose to read before) better

I read it back to back with Decline of the West and Spengler seemed to have the better and more thorough explanation for Quantification, not that they're too different to discount the value of the book though since it's meant to give an image of the transition from absolute good to absolute evil rather than a solid perspective of history.

I just read a summary of the book.
>We are inevitably heading towards some sort of apocalypse, after which a new golden age will be established and the cycle will begin again.
>The main cause of this decline has been the placing of the profane above the sacred, with the Renaissance and the Reformation – usually seen as leaps forward in Western culture – here portrayed as the destroyers of the ancient tradition in Europe.
>The decline of the West reached its nadir with the French Revolution, which completely rejected all tradition.
>What became the predominant concern for modern science and philosophy was the material and the quantifiable, and Guénon deals with this development in what is perhaps his most significant work, entitled The Reign of Quantity and the Sign of the Times.
>This is his most concerted and metaphysically informed consideration of the problems of modernity.
>He seeks to explain the roots of the malaise that is modernity and alights on the overriding concern for ‘quantity’ in the modern world.

I got filtered and decided to read Aristotle and the Scholastics a little bit first, then jump in. It's really good from up to where I read. Guenon is very lucid and generally writes pretty clearly despite the typically long French run-on sentences.

Give me an honest answer, are the Spanish translations good?

[Anonymous No.20636268]

>>20632099
any good lists of Sufi orders that aren’t fake and gay. And did Guenon ever write about orthodoxy. It seems to be a lot better than Catholicism and I can ‘convert’ to it without abandoning nearly as much. And how did Guenon view holy wars, did he think people of other traditions should ever fight each other even in cases where the Holy Texts say to?

Oh and also, does objective morality really exist? if each religion is correct in their understanding of morality than that means that Gods morality can change, right? Or is it that we can only get glimpses of Gods morality through religion

The books were written in French. French and Spanish are very similar. What do you think?

[Anonymous No.20637218]

>>20632099
Good, though I suspect 99% people don't understand it, even hardcore guenonians. There are some concepts Guénon (pbuh) didn't clarify enough for us now. Too much scholasticism (notably, the idea of materia signata quantitae and as second matter and not the first, which produce duality)

>woman hands
I once met a guenonian woman, she was into me, but most women, even spiritual ones, to still be devotees of eros. It was just a trap from him.

iirc he talked about the Hesychasm in a letter to someone (might've been in one of his books, can't remember) and he was pretty pessimistic about the possibility of a legitimate form of iniation existing within Orthodox Christianity based off what he had heard about the monks at Mt. Athos
from what I've gathered he viewed the Hesychasm as being mysticism rather than genuine iniation, due to the fact the states achieved in the Hesychasm could be lost

lots of "spiritual" people, still fall for the flesh and mondane desires in the most vulgar ways, going to the point to justify desire. And they use falsy metaphysics to justify themselves, while maybe knowing deep down that by choosing the flesh and the normal life, they don't choose the spirit. The upanishads call metaphysic that doesn't seek to overcome desire "vain litterature"
