Someone explain this, please. Why were there so many threads about him recently.
What books to read from him?

Meme. 1 or 2 anons spam him vigorously for some reason.

>>14751849
He was the greatest philosopher of the last century- although this denomination would sound to him as an insult, so perhaps we should say metaphysician.
Start with Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta and then read The Crisis of the Modern World.

Guenon himself is a decent writer apart from his schizo ramblings (atlantis is real, we live in the kali yuga, there's a world tree supporting the earth, etc.). It's just that his reputation has been tarnished by an 80 IQ retard who keeps making the same 'wow this guenon dude is a genius where do I start' threads with himself posting on his phone minutes later with 'well of course he's the greatest you can start with...'

The sad part is that he has been doing this for about 2 years and he hasn't attracted anyone into reading Guenon (otherwise we'd see actual discussion of Guenon instead of guenonfag making cringe memes and pasting the same wall of texts from his notepad).

>> No.14751923

>>14751906
And there’s some that mistake the latter for the former. Isn’t that the proof of Kali Yuga, o Brothers? We are in downwards spiral towards the end of the aeon, and the progression of the decadence is evident! Guenonfag has actually sound knowledge of Guenon’s books, and a proficient grasp of the doctrine of the Traditions; he could actually debate the lesser souls. But, “guenonposter”, this clown, this is embarrassing impostor, is nothing but a moronic infra-intellectual idiot. Lo, the end is nigh.

>> No.14751924

>>14751906
nope, 'guenonposter' is just guenonfag with a trip, he posts with his trip to make his retarded general (+ 1 or 2 posts from time to time). Once he removes his trip, its back to spamming 'based pbuh' 100x.

Guenonposter created the last /RG/ thread with a monkey superimposed upon Guènon’s face. How can you say, fellow anons, that this rude man was the same one that had a solid grasp of Shankaracharya’s Advaita and could actually debate Buddh*sts? Are ye blind?

I’m not that person. I rarely use ellipsis. That man is, in transforming Guénon into a meme, trying to falsify his teachings by humor. Ultimately as a way to eliminate real discussions about Guénon and the Traditionalists on /lit/. Even Vedanta threads aren’t feasible anymore.

>atlantis is real
Atlantis actually is real though, it's Greenland and basically the whole crust moves on the mantle meaning our continents sporadically jolt in relation to the rotational axis, which means our north pole has changed during prehistoric humanity.
>there's a world tree supporting the earth
metaphysically speaking there absolutely is, and if you're going to call Guénon schizo for this then you may as well call massive amount of world traditions schizo too for believing the same thing.

"Those who might be tempted to give way to despair should realize that nothing accomplished in this order can ever be lost, that confusion, error and darkness can win the day only apparently and in a purely ephemeral way, that all partial and transitory disequilibrium must perforce contribute towards the greater equilibrium of the whole, and that nothing can ultimately prevail against the power of truth."
