This nigga is great and all but why does he never define in any of his terms? What exactly is metaphysics and “intellectual intuition”?

It’s literally made up and cherry picked as needed.

He wrote a LOT. Perrenielists have their own vocabulary, of common enough words, but with very particular meanings attached, such as intellect, esoteric and tradition.

Guenon is not that circuitous, his meanings can be gathered from continued readind and they are deployed consistently and in the same way as other perennielists.

He obviously was not able to tailor every book he wrote to a wide paperback audience. His editors today would be the ones to blame for any confusion, as a simple addition of footnotes might hemp a reader greatly, but this may not be realistic given the size of his output (It would take a lot of time and money).

Perhaps someone can point to a good text that introduces Philosophia perennies in an accesible single volume. I would be very interested in such a book if anyone knows one.

>what is metaphysics
This is quite literally tackled in his first book. Have you read him?
