Ren Gunon (1886-1951) is undoubtedly one of the luminaries of the
twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood
fast against the shifting sands of recent philosophies. His oeuvre
of 26 volumes is providential for the modern seeker: pointing
ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging
from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and
Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy,
Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, at the same time it
directs the reader to the deepest level of religious praxis,
emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even
while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as
they approach the summit of spiritual realization. The present
volume, first published in 1958 by Gunon's friend and collaborator
Paul Chacornac, whose bookstore, journal (first called Le Voile
d'Isis, later changed to tudes Traditionnelles), and publishing
venture-ditions Traditionnelles-were so instrumental in furthering
Gunon's work, was the first full-length biography of this
extraordinary man to appear, and has served as the foundation for
the many later biographies that have appeared in French, as well as
the lone biography in English, Ren Gunon and the Future of the
West, by Robin Waterfield. Its translation and publication in
conjunction with The Collected Works of Ren Gunon represents an
important step in the effort to bring Gunon's oeuvre before a wider
public.
