Aristotle is the biggest one that Guenon uses in all of his thinking.

>> No.22105276

If you can't tell from what book he copypasted the paragraphs he didn't want to reference to make people think he is a greater writer that he actually is it's literally over.

All writers steal quotes from other writers and pretend that wasn't something worth a reference. I'm talking about entire paragraphs directly or almost directly copypasted into the book.

As long as you go back to read the gospels and repent and confess for engaging with his religious indifferentism after, you don't have to read anything before.

Nihilism isn't for anybody. It's just like... thinking real hard, then "oh shit", then you metamorphize into either a chud or a tranny.

They're not nihilists. Atheists perhaps but not nihilists. Nihilists taken to its logical conclusion is just suicide and despair. You wouldn't write books if you were a nihilist cause it would be meaningless
