  Rene Guenon
Guenon was not one to destroy the edifices of a belief or doctrine without also expounding the real teaching of which it is a distortion or corruption.
Guenon saw that within the Kali Yuga these teachings were becoming debased and that these traditions were loosing their link to the perennial wisdom, as such they were becoming atrophied and even, in some cases, becoming “counter traditions”.
Guenon’s denouncements of these movements were venomous and without pity, he believed it was imperative to shine the light of wisdom on paths which were leading humanity towards destruction rather than illumination.

 Rene Guenon (Abd al-Wahid Yahya) 1886-1951   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Guenon’s view of science is an integral part of his endeavor of reviving the traditional worldview and cannot be properly understood in isolation from the general purview that he adopts throughout his works.
Guenon sees everything in the world of creation as an application and manifestation of metaphysical principles that are contained in the perennial teachings of religions, and applies them to every single subject that he addresses in his works.
Guenon answers this crucial question by underscoring a powerful tendency of the modern world, and it is the exclusive concern of the modern mind with what is given to us in our immediate sense experience.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Crisis of the Modern World   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Guenon remains a champion of the East and notes the Western bias and attempt to dominate the traditional East, citing several sources of this problematic, where he means by the West the modern materialist-driven West and not the traditional West.
Guenon notes that while there is a tendency for those among the traditional camp to despair, given the bleak outlook presented by the modern world (which may be destroyed in catastrophe given its false foundations), that this tendency should be overcome, particularly by those among his chosen elite.
Guenon's panorama is original in the way it links human history to the metaphysical scheme of the One and the many: from absolute unity, which is represented by primordial tradition, the world went further and further in its process of materialization; as such, it explains many of modernity's traits (humanism, pragmaticism, industrialized science, etc.).

All guenons have cheek pouches and simple stomachs to cope with their varied diet, although a few have adaptations for a higher proportion of leaves in their diet.
The word guenon means fright in French word, reflecting the guenon’s habit of grimacing and exposing its teeth when excited or angry.
Guenons are also an important part of the food chain and are hunted by a wide range of predators including the leopard and smaller cats, birds of prey, large reptiles (snakes, crocodiles) and other primates like baboons.

Guenons are small arboreal monkeys with round-ish heads, long legs and extremely long tails.
Guenons take shelter in trees when alarmed, and keep a watchful eye out for predators which include large eagles and snakes.
Guenon troops are not as strictly organized, or hierarchical as some primate societies, but rather they have a friendly and loose hierarchy, with the dominant male serving more as a friendly protector than a policeman.

Guenon convinced Eugene Rose (the future Fr Seraphim) that the upholding of ancient tradition was valid, and not just a sign of being unenlightened, as the modernists would claim.
Guenon indicated that modern Western society is based on a rejection of the traditional spirit of ancient cultures.
Guenon wrote: "Actually, religion being essentially a form of tradition, the anti-traditional spirit cannot help being anti- religious; it begins by denaturing religion and ends by sup- pressing it altogether, wherever it is able to do so.

The guenon's heavy, soft fur may be brown, red, gray, green, or yellow, with markings of white or other colors.
For example, a ground-dwelling guenon called the green monkey, C. aethiops sabaeus, is a bright shade of green and has yellow whiskers, a yellow and fl tail, and gray hands and feet.
Other guenons have large, brightly colored noses that are in striking contrast with the hue of their body fur.

 The Catholicism
Guenon's book takes as its starting point the two earlier works: Mission de l'Inde by a certain Saint Yves d'Alveydre, and the better known Beasts, Men and Gods, by a French academician and political writer of this century, Ferdinand Ossendowski.
Guenon was profoundly steeped in the ancient Aryan literature of the Vendanta, one of whose chief tenants is that of the four ages of Yugas.
One of the major themes of Guenon's many books is to chart exactly how this process is coming to its dire fruition, chiefly through the spread of philosophical materialism and maniacal enshrinements of quantity over quality via modern science, technology and industry.

It is found in Nigeria in small scattered populations along the lower course of the Niger River and in the Niger River delta.

 Why I Am Not a Traditionalist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Guenon, Coomaraswamy and other traditionalists are to be credited with seeing through the illusions of modernism at a time when its allure was at a peak.
For Blavatsky, Olcott, Guenon and Coomaraswamy, the problems of modernity arise from neglect of the perennial wisdom found in the esoteric teachings of the great religions, although it must be admitted that Guenon and Coomaraswamy went way beyond what was implicit in the writings of the Theosophists.
Guenon responds to this problem with an expectation of the end of the age of modernity based on Hindu cosmological ideas.

 Table of contents for Studies in Freemasonry and the Compagnonnage
As early as the 1920s, the French metaphysician Rene Guenon (1886-1951) had diagnosed these tendencies and presented what he believed to be the only possible reconciliation of the legitimate, al-though apparently conflicting, demands of outward religious forms, `exoterisms', with their essential core, `esoterism'.
His works are characterized by a foundational critique of the modern world coupled with a call for intellectual reform; a renewed examination of metaphysics, the traditional sciences, and symbolism, with special reference to the ultimate unanimity of all spiritual traditions; and finally, a call to the work of spiritual realization.
Nonetheless, this record of Guenon's struggle to come to terms with an initiatory lineage fallen on hard times is of real relevance to all now seeking a spiritual affiliation in the darkness prevailing in our time.

 René GUENON (Spiritus Mundi - Esoterism)
In this work, probably the most significant in a Western language, concerning symbolism, Guenon deals with the metaphysical and cosmological meaning of symbols drawn from traditions as far apart as the Greek and the Buddhist, the Druid and the Islamic.
The present volume is a companion volume to Guenon Perspectives on Initiation, in which Guenon carefully defined the nature of initiation and of the organizations qualified to transmit it.
Touching first on India and the medieval West, Guenon then illustrates his point by citing quarrels over investiture and disputes of certain French kings with the papacy as evidence of a deviation in Christianity.

Guenon’s ontology, as you describe it (quality and quantity) reminds me of Aristotle.
I take it Guenon sees history, not as conflict and synthesis (“evolution”), but rather as descent into a melting pot of non-distinctions and confusions, which ends (at least temporarily) in the tower of babel phenomenon.
When the conditions are right, Guenon’s teaching is going to play an essential role in the spiritual reorientation of the potential leaders of a rearisen West.

This was followed by The Crisis of the Modern World (1927)--perhaps his most famous and widely read book.
Guenon’s writings span a wide array of subjects from metaphysics and symbolism to the critique of the modern world and traditional sciences.
To carry this point a step further, Guenon reverses the relation between theory and experiment and gives priority to “preconceived ideas” – a point of view remarkably close to Thomas Kuhn’s concept of paradigm.
