What his philosophy about?
I started reading Evola's Revolt last night (about to get started again, once the coffee kicks in) and noted that Renee was a major influence.
QRD on his principal theories?
en.wikipedia.org
All the traditional religions (i.e. the non-fake ones and the non-corrupted areas of the ones that been partially corrupted) lead to the same truth, so a form of perennialism; and that this in the modern world corresponds closest to Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, Neoplatonism and Taosim, i.e. that really God or the One is really the only thing that actually exists. That there is a primordial tradition among mankind that has always taught this knowledge, but we are living in a Dark Age, the Kali Yuga predicted by the Hindus and other cultures as well where materialism, nihilism, scientism etc spreads and prevents people from understanding the eternal metaphysical truth. Evola basically got almost all of his ideas from Guenon.
He identifies the cause of the west's problems with the turning away from the traditional society they were in the middle ages and the degeneration/withering of the western esoteric traditions and predicted that if they can't restore traditional Christianity (i.e. basically Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, but with revamped esoterism/metaphysics) that the west would either fall sway to Islam or collapse in some catastrophe.
True tradition, but even among traditionalists he is considered esoteric
Good read
However, he was interested in Suffi Islam so he isn't Jow Forums approved
The crisis of the modern world should be mandatory reading.
No wonder nobody knows him, thats some incredibly sophomoric bullshit. You must not have much of an education to be impressed by basic panentheism.

Non-dualism is different from both pantheism and panentheism. Both of the latter imply the identity of either God or his energies with the universe, while non-dualism doesn't. You must not have much of an education if you thought otherwise. Advaita and Sufism are not pantheistic or panentheistic but correspond closer to non-dualism.
When you actually read Guenon and all the texts he cites it is true that they all lead to this conclusion. There is enough of the same symbolism in the bible to suggest that possibly in the beginning Christianity taught similar ideas in an esoteric form but that this was later lost or went underground in the form of various secret orders and brotherhoods.
'Ride the Tiger' is solid piece by Evola
Evola's breddy impressive, and Ive made my way through most of the greats. It seems to me that his ideas were of no utility to any of the political modes of his day, so he was by all of the marginalized and largely dismissed.
And if we are indeed in late stage cultural decay/disintegration, his suggestion for managing/enduring it are worth serious consideration...which is what I'm currently doing.
Will be reading more of Evola and his influences/acolytes.
We're in an age of name-it/claim-it, prosperity churchianity -- further mangled by contortions of 'compassion' so malign that they corrupt the essence of faith itself.
It seems to user that his ideas of 'riding the tiger's out unto its death throes from years ago were promoted by Evola early last century...and so I now propose to revisit them.
Many bristle against Evola's magical thinking...not user. Primative Christians were obsessed with magic (of a kind)...the sign of an apostle consisted in his ability to preform wonders... little wonder modern clergy are bereft such gifts -- how can they themselves heal the sick while infected with modernist malignancies? Truly the blind leading the blind into a ditch.
Highly recommend Evola to other Anons.
Why would I study san orientalist dipshit that impresses pseuds when Ive studied the actual vedas. The fact that you mention pantheism and panentheism in the same breathe gives away your lack of understanding.
I hope you don't actually believe that otherwise you're a kike.
>the fact that you mention pantheism and panentheism
I only mentioned them to refute your misconception that what Guenon talked about was either of them you autist, even though you only mentioned one there was nothing wrong with specifying that the other was equally inapplicable as well
>Why would I study san orientalist dipshit that impresses pseuds when Ive studied the actual vedas
He was able to read Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Chinese, Hebrew and Arabic, he knew what he was talking about and consulted all the primary sources in their own language to back up his ideas
Why? Nothing Guenon supported is in alignment with the Zionists and other Jewish elites. He didn't even want the West to become Islamic, in his book 'East and West' he predicts that if this were to happen it would cause violent ethnic revolutions, he says that it would be better for the west to return to traditional Christianity but with a more developed metaphysics so that nobody takes nihilism, materialism, scientism, atheism etc seriously anymore. This is not something the kikes would be happy about.
>cringe
Ok.
he was probably only like 15 in that photo. guys in the olden days always looked really old
He was at least in his mid 20's there, I've seen rarer photos of a younger him he looks different
>become a muslims
some of his stuff was ok for inspiring others, but no thanks
He looks a North African, a Egyptian.
Rene Guenon was not redpilled, he was rather blackpilled in the sense that he understood very good that the Catholic tradition would never be brought back from its dead. He realized this over 70 years ago, so what would he say about current day Christianity? So he decided he needed to turn to an Eastern tradition, so he started to study Eastern doctrines including Hinduism and Islam. His final decision was Islam and he resettled in the patriarchal society of Egypt, married a woman there and had kids (who are still alive). He was inspired by Sunni Sufi doctrine, he was dogmatic and even wrote articles about Sharia and spirituality.
he recommended that on a personal level to certain people he knew because they were seeking to be initiated into an esoteric order, but he never recommended that for the west in general and even cautioned against it
He never said that the Catholic tradition could not be brought back from the dead in any of his books and in his book on Christian esoterism he wrote that certain areas of eastern/oriental Christianity are still in possession of the primordial/traditional metaphysical teachings
I converted to Islam after reading Abd al-Wâhid Yahyâ.
Now I'm more virtuous than any of these faggots arabs. I get at least 1 marriage proposition every week. Fucking arabic subhuman filth...
Who dat boi
>He never said that the Catholic tradition could not be brought back from the dead
He even saved the West would be saved by a return to catholicism in its traditionalist form. It's in Crisis in the Modern World.
No traditionalists are retards

what make you say that?
agree, except the Islam question which needs to be seen in a modern, thus enemy of the race, context.
laughable low IQ intervention
