Are there any available reading charts like this for studying Logic?

>I have read 3-4 times Crisis, the Introduction to Hindu Doctrines, the Reign of Quantity, and I also read the Symbolism of the Cross, Perspectives on initiation, Perspectives on islamic esotericism, and that's about it.
nice, you'll fit right in. you will find that there's many different strains of guenonian autism here.
may I ask wht type of Guenonian autism interests you the most? Like which type of Guenon books do you enjoy?
>Since I speak French
I could tell by how you use your "?" heh heh
there's a could Frenchfags who post here too
>that's where I found the explicit assimilation of Ishwara to the Logos for example
nice
>Have you read all of his books ?
the ones from the picrel chart, yes
I just got rid of a handful of them though...
sad times... :(
what about other Traditionalist authors?
any of particular interest to you?
> Buddhism
>somewhat risky
definitely, which is why i'm looking to lay a solid advaita foundation first
I am particularly interested in how Shingon relates to the Samurai and eventually take these insights and apply them to the Grail and Catholicism
>Eastern Orthodoxy still has something to offer, or maybe check if hinduism
>Islam
there are plenty of fags here who are into all three

yeah it's a good starting spot for a /pol/tard
Would follow that up with East & West

it'll challenge your /pol/-esque view
you will see that the problems are much deeper than le jew

Bigger number = more confusing and more background knowledge required maybe?

>So what areas did you study?
uhh mainly where /trad/ and /pol/ intersect.
like imagine picrel path of Reign of Quantity's "bonus round" and going deep down the rabbit hole there

>>20277343
start with his wikipedia

>>20256473
you will get a bunch of different answers
but generally speaking the best intropills are Crisis of the Modern World or Introduction to the Study of Hindu Doctrines*

*the first 2/3ish of this book have little to do with hinduism and provides more of an overview of his Traditionalist thought

picrel is kinda solid and going down the left side of the chart is probably your best bet for starters. once you get to Reign of Quantity you can kinda go in whatever direction that interests you most.

Evola is only a reaction to Guenon.
To really understand, you should start with Introduction to the Hindu Doctrine.
Also Philosophicat is a hack, absolutely subversive and anti-traditional.
If you're reading Evola for a purely political reason, you're going to have a bad time.

>The amazing thing is I already feel like non normie
lol

>>20136933
>where do I start?
The Guénon chart, of course.

Alright, you've baited me into wanting to read guenon. where can I find epubs of his stuff? All I'm seeing online are low-quality pdfs, and I'm not going to pay for his schizo ramblings

>>20021807
there are lots of charts for specific authors, a general might honestly be a good thread

>>20007337
umm since no one posted the chart here you go, good luck on being a part of the initiated elite to restore tradition and divinity to everyday life in the west...

"starting" with guenon is ill advised I believe, even if you can grasp his ideas if there is no pre-furnished ideas of religion/classical philosophy within you than it'll be hard to see where he's coming from. Guenon very tactly chooses to abstract religious principles into general terms, for example whenever he speaks of a "spiritual influence" that is passed down via a spiritual lineage that furnishes the possibility of receiving knowledge of principles. From a catholic perspective that could easily translate into "The Holy Spirit is passed down via sacraments from disciple to disciple stemming from Jesus himself, so that we may partake in the divine life and be sanctified through grace."

Honestly between the three guenon is probably the easiest read in terms of understanding his ideas, especially if you've been exposed to them before, in my case my background is merely in Plato and basic Catholic teachings, and I found (with the exception of his metaphysical books such as states of being, and symbolism of the cross) to be pretty fun reads and surprisingly humorous at times if you can appreciate an ego based humor.

As for the first book, I'd say Crisis of the Modern World is a pretty decent exposure to his ideas, even though the guenon chart says to start with his introduction to the hindu doctrines.

while there is merit in attributing anti-traditional occultist leanings in Evola, I don't think that dismissing his work entirely because of it is justified. His book on the grail as well as his revolt are pretty good standalones from his writings and are worth reading.

Also a word of caution, I don't believe taking guenon's word as gospel is justified and I believe he himself wouldn't approve of such a position, he is best read when you have a religious backbone to rely on (preferably one that you were born into) and can point to as an infallible authority.

You should know that all religions are descended from the same source so the choice is one that remains legitimate but also suits your individual disposition. Highly recommend Guenon.
