Gay af. The reasons he says Hegel are bad are precisely the opposite. But I shouldn't expect a serious philosophical engagement from a druggie trad cultist...

People who start with Neitzche instead of reading him at or near the end are the worst.

Of course based Guénonposter isn't agnostic, for he has achieved the heights of Gnosis by diligently reading Shankaracharya (pbuh).

Philosophy is about skepticism. If you want to talk faith go to a religion thread.

>> No.14731958

>>14731798
Nobody said anything about faith, and nor are we talking about profane philosophy my confused friend, not that there is anything wrong with having faith though. You can study and appreciate Traditional metaphysics without complete faith merely by allowing yourself to temporarily suspend disbelief and approaching it with an open mind, and then at a certain point you realize that everything being talked about accords with your actual experience and it dawns on you that it's true, that is if you possess the capacity for spiritual insight and are not a hylic.
