Carl Jung's lectures on TSZ should be useful, if you're just looking to one and done this. A primer on Western esotericism to frame how to approach his work, whatever the medium, is recommended.

Avoid Kaufmann translations if possible (they're adequate, but most others will be better provided they are not attempts made prior to him)

Exactly, as the great sage Rene Guenon shows in his writings, 'philosophy' as understood in the west is a degeneration of the primordial Tradition and has resulting in nothing but confusion and disarray

It's eerie how much this quote rings true.
"Creativity" is meaningless if it destroys tradition.

Pbuh.

>Implying that those idealists aren't quasi materialists.

Guenon (pbuh) finished philosophy and denounces them and their profane inversion of knowledge.
