  The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga
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.

 Rene Guenon
Rene Guenon was a man who did not like biography, he had contempt for the cult of personality and believed that the age-old wisdom should stand or fall by itself.
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.

 The Crisis of the Modern World Collected Works of Rene Guenon Hardcover by Rene Guenon ISBN 0900588500
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.).

 The Life and Work of Rene Guenon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Rene Guenon was born on the 15h November 1886.
For Guenon a religion is that which has a living link with the Perennial wisdom, the truth that began in the Age of Gold and has emanated, like ripples in a pond, throughout time.
Guenon’s denouncements of these movements were venomous and without pity, he believed it was imperative to shine the light of wisdom on paths that were leading humanity towards destruction rather than illumination.

 René Guénon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the christian philosopher Jean Borella, Guenon's work is organized around five central themes: a critique and reform of the modern world, the tradition, symbolism, metaphysics and spiritual realization.
This metaphysics, whose various expressions are found in the Vedanta, Sufism, and Neoplatonism, is not the result of mental speculation but of a spiritual intuition which forms the foundation of traditional symbolism.
Guenon also proposes to revive the intellectual meaning of this symbolism.

This is the first English translation of one of Rene' Guenon's most important works, and constitutes a major contribution to the field of traditional studies.
What is owed to Guenon for having outlined so clearly the cause of the spiritual crisis of the modern world, and for having offered remedies that are uncompromising in their application, is realised more and more by each generation of his readers.
Guenon refused to ever state his lineage in Taoism nor which school and teacher did he study under.

 History of Perennialism: Part I Rene Guenon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Rene Guenon was born to a Catholic family in France in 1886.
While the “ecumenical” aspect of Guenon’s religious invention has little appeal for Traditional Catholics, his insistence on the retention of traditions, his relish for social disintegration, and his repugnance for anything flowing from modernity are rampant in the writings of Catholic authors inspired by Guenon’s theories.
Guenon’s belief that our era would come to an end with the destruction of the present “system” is found among some Traditional Catholics who harbor a certain morbid fascination with natural or social disasters or any news that indicates social disintegration.

 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.

 Book notes: René Guénon | Turnabout   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.

 René Guénon, by Mircea A. Tamas
The rigorousness of his writings had as main purpose to modify the superficiality of the Western thinking; even now some sentimental scholars are profoundly unhappy with Guenon’s tough discipline imposed to the style and the form of his work.
Guénon’s “super-intellectual” approach is, though, the only valid way when a theoretical transmission is involved.[5] Using mathematical symbols and language, even if disagreeable to some scholars and literate individuals, facilitated a precise and exact style, very different from all the inflated and tortuous phrases of the modern rationalists.
It is totally useless – Gilis stresses – to try to find out the exact circumstances regarding the beginning of Guenon’s initiatory career (Gilis 27).

Perhaps that’s partly why people often don’t acknowledge Guenon, by the way — that he’s associated with the "weird".
An author isn’t really responsible for his readers, and people do all sorts of things with what they read.
Perhaps it’s because Guenon appeals to the disenchanted — to those who are alienated from modenity.
