GUENON HATE THREAD

[Anonymous No.19040485]

First, his idea of the literal existence of a Hyperborean proto-religion in the past is absurd, and this is what Guenon builds most of his philosophy on. We should understand Tradition (capital T) as eternal unchanging principles that are embodied in religions/traditions (small letter) of different peoples - Numinous Sacred, holy fear and madness, structures of hierarchy and society (Dumezil, structuralism, language, archetypes), Gods as fathers of peoples and patrons of spheres of life etc. Also, his idea of counter-initiation can be viewed as an obvious trace or affect of Abrahamic dualism. It’s basically a figure of «Absolute Evil» and another name for the Antichrist. Or, from another point of view, the roots of this idea are a modernist echo in the works of Guenon, who was inclined to think not in plural, but in universal and sometimes even progressive categories. We need to understand the plurality of forms and experiences of the sacred; what is sacred and initiatic for one society might be strictly taboo for another one. Therefore it is impossible to speak about a universal formula of counter-initiation. Also, just look at his degenerate face. I ask myself - can a real intellectual have such a forehead? How much did his brain weigh?

Guenon is an awful meme and it's hilarious that all his idolizers here hate brown people too much to follow their master in relocating to the Islamic world, where, surely, they can continue their eclectic study of Neo-Vedanta and heterodox Islamic theology unmolested by wicked modernity.

Oh sorry you're right if you like the elites you're imagining then they are based. If you don't like the hierarchy they've set up then they are cringe.
>>19040579
If you take your guenonist theology seriously you have to go get initiated. Sorry, it's true. Otherwise you are as bad as one of those moderns like Bergson.

The flappy poop app wars are the mahabarata of the 21st century. Apple must fight Google even though all the same people own both companies. It is willed by capital in its thousand-armed form of shareholders, consumers, and regulators.

Traditionalism is just an attempt to seperate the White man from his racial and cultural roots. Notice how ALL the tradition of the West is rejected by Guenon, including the Greeks and the Church.

guenon was a mediocre orientalist, a mediocre mathematician, and a mediocre schoolar of religions, his understanding of western philosophy was terrible, and his takes on eastern religion are full of bias and cheap atempts to fit really complex religions into his narrow and shallow "meta religion"
the fact that some people take him seriously is deeply sad
and on top of all that it's painfully borring to read,evola is just as bad but at least it's a fun ride

pretty much this, guenon want's to do a critic of the modern world from a "traditional" perspective(which in reality it isn't all that traditional) but he didn't read hegel or nietzsche both of them did much better analisis and critics of modernity while at the same time destroyed the outdated and childish traditional paradigm
reading guenon is jut a waste of time, in regards to take a look to modernity he was jus't not up to the task

>guenon was a mediocre orientalist, a mediocre mathematician, and a mediocre scho-
He was proficient at Greek, Latin, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Sanskrit, Hebraic, Arabic and Chinese, was trained in mathematics and was extremely well-read in both eastern and western philosophy. Wolfgang Smith, who taught mathematics at UCLA and MIT, says that what Guénon writes about mathematics is correct and that he is justified in criticizing modern mathematics.
>Guénon was a stupid posing larpe-
He was initiated into both a Vietnamese Taoist Triad as well as the al-'Arabiyya Shadhiliyya Sufi order, furthermore in all his writings he stressed the need for personal and genuine participation in whatever Traditions one aspired to follow. His acquaintances both Egyptian and western observed that he scrupulously followed Islamic observances during his life in Egypt
>Guénon was a literal nobody, he was not influenti-
Among the many western philosophers, artists and authors who were influenced by him or who heaped praise on him include Carl Schmitt, Georges Bataille, Aleksander Dugin, Antonin Artaud, Olavo de Carvalho, André Breton, Mircea Eliade, Alain Danielou, Julius Evola, André Malraux, Albert Gleizes, René Daumal, Raymond Queneau, Paul Ackerman, Huston Smith, William Chittick, Steve Bannon, Harry Oldmeadow, James Cutsinger and Hossein Nasr. Furthermore as Nasr notes in his article 'The Influence of Rene Guenon in the Islamic World', Guénon is well-known and influential among the intelligentsia including traditional Islamic scholars in certain Islamic countries such in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Malaysia.
>Guénon just made a bunch of stupid and unjustified comparisons between religio-
To the contrary over the course of some twenty odd books he painstakingly and patiently elucidated the fundamental agreement between the metaphysics of Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Sufism, Hermeticism and Christian esoterism, work that Coomaraswamy built on and further confirmed

You didn't read him, wignat. Rene Guenon thought the Church was the West's best chance at returning to Tradition.

[Anonymous No.19044396]

>>19043828
While Guenon believes that all religions come from the same primordial Tradition, not being able to separate this universalist belief from his stance and still come away with something useful even if you believe in the strict and total correctness of one religions shows that you're a dimwit incapable of discernment.
