One of Ren Gunon's lifelong quests was to discover, or revive, the
esoteric, initiatory dimension of the Christian tradition. In the
present volume, along with its companion volume The Esoterism of
Dante, Gunon undertakes to establish that the three parts of The
Divine Comedy represent the stages of initiatic realization,
exploring the parallels between the symbolism of the Commedia and
that of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and Christian Hermeticism, and
illustrating Dante's knowledge of traditional sciences unknown to
the moderns: the sciences of numbers, of cosmic cycles, and of
sacred astrology. In these works Gunon also touches on the
all-important question of medieval esoterism and discusses the role
of sacred languages and the principle of initiation in the
Christian tradition, as well as such esoteric Christian themes and
organizations as the Holy Grail, the Guardians of the Holy Land,
the Sacred Heart, the Fedeli d'Amore and the 'Courts of Love', and
the Secret Language of Dante. One chapter in the present volume,
'Christianity and Initiation', is of special interest with regard
to the history of the Traditionalist School. When first published
as an article, it gave rise to some controversy because Gunon here
reaffirmed his denial of the efficacy of the Christian sacraments
as rites of initiation, a point of divergence between the teachings
of Gunon and those of other key perennialist thinkers. Both The
Esoterism of Dante and Insights into Christian Esoterism will be of
inestimable value to all who are struggling to come to terms with
the fullness of the Christian tradition.
Traduccion de la celebre Conferencia que Guenon pronuncio en la
Sorbona en 1925 a proposito de la metafisica oriental. Un libro
fundamental para comprender el pensamiento guenoniano.
In Symbols of Sacred Science, Gunon, a master of precise, even
'mathematical' metaphysical exposition, reveals himself as a
consummate exegete of myth and symbolism as well, superior in many
ways to Mircea Eliade, and comparable perhaps only to his respected
friend Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. This extraordinary text unveils the
cosmological meanings of root symbols organized under such general
headings as: The Center of the World, Cyclic Manifestation, Symboic
Weapons, Axial Symbolism and the Symbolsim of Passage, The
Symbolism of Building, and The Symbolism of the Heart. Far more
than a simple catalogue of myths and symbols from many traditions,
Symbols of the Sacred Science lays the foundation for a universal
esoteric symbology. In this work, Gunon demonstrates the
fundamental unity-across all cultures and ages-of the images with
which the Absolute clothes itself in its cosmic self-revelation.
Since the late nineteenth century, the Theosophical Society has
been a central force in the movement now known as the New Age. Just
as the Communist Party was considered 'old hat' by peace activists
in the '60s, so the Theosophical Society was looked upon by many in
the 'spiritual revolution' of those years as cranky, uninteresting,
and pass. But the Society, like the Party, was always there,
and-despite its relatively few members-always better organized than
anybody else. Since then, the Society's influence has certainly not
waned. It plays an important role in today's global interfaith
movement, and, since the flowering of the New Age in the '70s, has
established increasingly intimate ties with the global elites. And
its various spinoffs, such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Summit
Lighthouse, and Benjamin Crme's continuing attempt to lead a 'World
Teacher Maitreya' onto the global stage-just as the Society tried
to do in the last century with Krishnamurti-continue to send waves
through the sea of 'alternative' spiritualities. Gunon shows how
our popular ideas of karma and reincarnation actually owe more to
Theosophy than to Hinduism or Buddhism, provides a clear picture of
the charlatanry that was sometimes a part of the Society's modus
operandi, and gives the early history of the Society's bid for
political power, particularly its role as an agent of British
imperialism in India. It is fitting that this work should finally
appear in English just at this moment, when the influence of
pseudo-esoteric spiritualities on global politics is probably
greater than ever before in Western history.
The Reign of Quantity gives a concise but comprehensive view of the
present state of affairs in the world, as it appears from the point
of view of the 'ancient wisdom', formerly common both to the East
and to the West, but now almost entirely lost sight of. The author
indicates with his fabled clarity and directness the precise nature
of the modern deviation, and devotes special attention to the
development of modern philosophy and science, and to the part
played by them, with their accompanying notions of progress and
evolution, in the formation of the industrial and democratic
society which we now regard as 'normal'. Guenon sees history as a
descent from Form (or Quality) toward Matter (or Quantity); but
after the Reign of Quantity-modern materialism and the 'rise of the
masses'-Guenon predicts a reign of 'inverted quality' just before
the end of the age: the triumph of the 'counter-initiation', the
kingdom of Antichrist. This text is considered the magnum opus
among Guenon's texts of civilizational criticism, as is Symbols of
Sacred Science among his studies on symbols and cosmology, and Man
and His Becoming according to the Vedanta among his more purely
metaphysical works.
Initiation and Spiritual Realization is the closest thing to a work
on 'spiritual direction' Ren Gunon ever wrote, touching as it does
upon such vital topics as the transmission of initiatic grace, the
various types and functions of the spiritual master, obstacles the
aspirant is likely to encounter, different modes of contemplation,
and the degrees of spiritual realization. A companion volume to
Perspectives on Initiation, where Gunon had defined the nature of
initiation and of the organizations qualified to transmit it,
Initiation and Spiritual Realization was the first thematic
collection of Gunon's articles to appear after his death. And one
doctrine expressed in this book stands out as particularly timely:
that esoterism is not and cannot be a religion in itself, since to
take it as such is to reduce it to an 'alternative' exoterism, and
a heterodox one at that. Initiatic esoterism can only be
legitimately and effectively practiced within the context of one of
the established, revealed religions.
The Symbolism of the Cross is a major doctrinal study of the
central symbol of Christianity from the standpoint of the universal
metaphysical tradition, the 'perennial philosophy' as it is called
in the West. As Gunon points out, the cross is one of the most
universal of all symbols and is far from belonging to Christianity
alone. Indeed, Christians have sometimes tended to lose sight of
its symbolical significance and to regard it as no more than the
sign of a historical event. By restoring to the cross its full
spiritual value as a symbol, but without in any way detracting from
its historical importance for Christianity, Gunon has performed a
task of inestimable importance which perhaps only he, with his
unrivalled knowledge of the symbolic languages of both East and
West, was qualified to perform. Although The Symbolism of the Cross
is one of Gunon's core texts on traditional metaphysics, written in
precise, nearly 'geometrical' language, vivid symbols are
necessarily pressed into service as reference points-how else could
the mind ascend the ladder of analogy to pure intellection? Gunon
applies these doctrines more concretely elsewhere in critiquing
modernity in such works as The Crisis of the Modern World and The
Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times, and invokes them also
to help explain the nature of initiation and of initiatic
organizations in such works as Perspectives on Initiation and
Initiation and Spiritual Realization.
This remarkable book grew out of a conference headed by Ren Gunon,
the sinologist Ren Grousset, and the neo-Thomist Jacques Maritain
on questions raised by Ferdinand Ossendowski's thrilling account in
his Men, Beast and Gods of an escape through Central Asia, during
which he foils enemies and encounters shamans and Mongolian lamas,
whose marvels he describes. The book caused a great sensation,
especially the closing chapters, where Ossendowski recounts legends
allegedly entrusted to him concerning the 'King of the World' and
his subterranean kingdom Agarttha. The present book, one of Gunon's
most controversial, was written in response to this conference and
develops the theme of the King of the World from the point of view
of traditional metaphysics. Chapters include: Western Ideas about
Agarttha; Shekinah and Metatron; The Three Supreme Functions;
Symbolism of the Grail; Melki-Tsedeq; Luz: Abode of Immortality;
The Supreme Center concealed during the Kali-Yuga; and The Omphalos
and Sacred Stones .
Rene Guenon (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. This small
volume brings together a number of Guenon's early articles relating
to Sufism (tasawwuf), or Islamic esoterism. The later article
'Islamic Esoterism' has also been included, since it so well
articulates the particularities of initiation in Islam by defining
the fundamental elements of tasawwuf: shari'ah, tariqah, haqiqah.
The first constitutes the necessary fundamental exoteric basis; the
second, the Way and its means; the third, the goal or final result.
In the other chapters, Guenon expresses with his usual synthetic
clarity what tawhid and faqr are, and gives examples of traditional
sciences, relating angelology to the Arabic alphabet, and chirology
to the science of letters ('ilm al-huruf). A number of book and
article reviews give interesting insights into traditional
orthodoxy. The Collected Works of Rene Guenon brings together the
writings of one of the greatest prophets of our time, whose voice
is even more important today than when he was alive. Huston Smith,
author of The World's Religions, etc.
Many readers of Guenon's later doctrinal works have longed to hear
the tale of his earlier entanglement, and disentanglement, from the
luxuriant undergrowth of so-called esoteric societies in late
nineteenth-century Paris and elsewhere. The present work documents
in excoriating detail Guenon's findings on what did, and did not,
lie behind the Theosophical Society founded by Madame Blavatsky and
Colonel Olcott in 1875. Much further information has of course come
to light during the 80 years since this book was written, but it
has never been superseded as a fascinating record of the path of a
master metaphysician through this maze. A sampling of chapter
titles will convey a sense of the depth of this remarkable work:
'Madame Blavatsky's Antecedents', 'The Theosophical Society and
Rosicrucianism', 'The Question of the Mahatmas', 'The Society for
Psychical Research', 'Esoteric Buddhism', 'Esoteric Christianity',
'The Future Messiah', 'The Trials of Alcyone', 'The Anthroposophy
of Rudolf Steiner', 'The Order of the Star of the East', 'Theosophy
and Freemasonry', 'The Political Role of the Theosophical Society'.

Gunon's doctrinal works have hoped for translations of his detailed
exposs of Theosophy and Spiritism. Sophia Perennis is pleased now
to make available both these important titles as part of the
Collected Works of Ren Gunon. Whereas Theosophy: History of a
Pseudo-Religion centers primarily on historical details, The
Spiritist Fallacy, though also packed with arcane facts, is unique
in revealing how one of the greatest metaphysicians of our age
interprets the phenomena, real or alleged, of Spiritism. The
doctrinal expositions that accompany his astonishing account of
Spiritism offer extraordinarily prescient insight into many
deviations and 'psychological' afflictions of the modern mind, and
should be as valuable to psychiatrists and spiritual counselors as
to historians of esoteric history. And it also offers a profound
corrective to the many brands of New Age 'therapy' that all too
unwittingly invoke many of the same elements whose nefarious
origins Gunon so clearly pointed out many years ago.

that could just as well have been called Fragments of an Unknown
History. Although they must remain fragments, as Guenon did not
return to many of these themes again, it would have been
regrettable to leave such fascinating articles buried in old
journals, and so this posthumous collection is now offered to
Anglophone readers for the first time. by two pieces on Atlantis
and Hyperborea. Two sections follow, concerned respectively with
the Hebrew Tradition and the Egyptian Tradition. The former
comprises five articles concerned primarily with the Kabbalah and
the Science of Numbers, and the latter includes three articles on
Hermes and the Hermetic Tradition. Book reviews are inserted at
relevant points. To lend the collection coherence, no other
spiritual Traditions are here represented. A list of the Collected
Writings of Rene Guenon has been provided for those who wish to
investigate Guenon's metaphysical expositions on such topics as
Christianity, Islam, the Greco-Latin Traditions, Celtism, etc.

Critique of the modern world from the point of view of traditional
metaphysics, with special reference to the Oriental doctrine of
cosmic cycles.
Especially since the Renaissance, some in Western Christendom have
suspected that the deeper dimension of their tradition has somehow
been lost, and have therefore sought to discover, or create, an
'esoteric' or 'initiatic' Christianity. In the middle of the
nineteenth century two scholars, Gabriele Rossetti and Eugne Aroux,
pointed to certain esoteric meanings in the work of Dante
Alighieri, notably The Divine Comedy. Partly based on their
scholarship, Gunon in 1925 published The Esoterism of Dante. From
the theses of Rosetti and Aroux, Gunon retains only those elements
that prove the existence of such hidden meanings; but he also makes
clear that esoterism is not 'heresy' and that a doctrine reserved
for an elite can be superimposed on the teaching given the faithful
without standing in opposition to it. One of Ren Gunon's lifelong
quests was to discover, or revive, the esoteric, initiatory
dimension of the Christian tradition. In the present volume, along
with its companion volume Insights into Christian Esoterism (which
includes the separate study Saint Bernard), Gunon undertakes to
establish that the three parts of The Divine Comedy represent the
stages of initiatic realization, exploring the parallels between
the symbolism of the Commedia and that of Freemasonry,
Rosicrucianism, and Christian Hermeticism, and illustrating Dante's
knowledge of traditional sciences unknown to the moderns: the
sciences of numbers, of cosmic cycles, and of sacred astrology. In
these works Gunon also touches on the all-important question of
medieval esoterism and discusses the role of sacred languages and
the principle of initiation in the Christian tradition, as well as
such esoteric Christian themes and organizations as the Holy Grail,
the Guardians of the Holy Land, the Sacred Heart, the Fedeli
d'Amore and the 'Courts of Love', and the Secret Language of Dante.
In addition to Dante, various other paths toward a possible
Christian esoterism have been explored by many investigators-the
legend of the Holy Grail, the Knights Templars, the tradition of
Courtly Love, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and Christian
Hermeticism-and Gunon deals with all of these in the present volume
as well as his Insights into Christian Esoterism. In the latter,
one chapter in particular, 'Christianity and Initiation', will be
of special interest with regard to the history of the
Traditionalist School. When first published as an article, it gave
rise to some controversy because Gunon here reaffirmed his denial
of the efficacy of the Christian sacraments as rites of initiation,
a point of divergence between the teachings of Gunon and those of
other key perennialist thinkers. Both The Esoterism of Dante and
Insights into Christian Esoterism will be of inestimable value to
all who are struggling to come to terms with the fullness of the
Christian tradition.
Ren Gunon (1886-1951) was one of the great luminaries of the
twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood

extensive writings, now finally available in English, are a
providential treasure-trove for the modern seeker: while 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, they direct the reader
also 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. Studies in Freemasonry and the
Compagnonnage is both an attempt to rediscover the lost roots of
Masonry and a fascinating look into the many controversies swirling
around the subject of Masonry in serious intellectual circles
during the first half of the twentieth century. It must also be
classed, along with Symbols of Sacred Science, Spiritual Authority
and Temporal Power, Traditional Forms and Cosmic Cycles, The
Esoterism of Dante, Insights into Christian Esoterism and Insights
into Islamic Esoterism and Taoism-not to mention related sections
in many of his other books-as one of Ren Gunon's masterful
excursions into esoteric myth, symbolism, and secret history.
Freemasonry may indeed be, as Gunon ultimately concluded, a largely
degenerated and thus no longer strictly 'operative' offshoot of a
true initiatory lineage; yet its symbolism, like that of the
original Rosicrucians, remains profound, traditional, and therefore
ultimately legitimate. And given that the 'Spirit bloweth where it
listeth', it is always possible that symbolism of this order may
awaken in a receptive soul intimations of the Truth and the Way,
which can be of inestimable of value in 'the path to the Path', the
quest for a living initiatory spirituality.

Studies in Hinduism consists of articles published posthumously, to
which has been added Ren Gunon's separate study, Eastern
Metaphysics, the text of a lecture delivered at the Sorbonne. In
this work Gunon completes his presentation of Hindu metaphysics,
which he considered the most primordial and comprehensive body of
spiritual teaching possessed by the human race, one capable of
throwing light upon and illuminating the essence of every other
Tradition. Of special interest are three chapters on various
aspects of tantra-a doctrine profoundly misunderstood in the
contemporary West-which Hindu authorities consider the spirituality
most appropriate to the Kali Yuga, as well as a chapter on the
sanatana dharma, the Hindu concept closest to the ancient and
medieval Christian idea of the philosophia perennis, which led St
Augustine to declare that Christianity has always existed, but only
came to be so called after the coming of Christ. Included are
extensive reviews of books on Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Ramana Maharshi,
Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo Ghose, Rabindranath Tagore, Mircea
Eliade, Paul Brunton, and others, as well as 40 pages of reviews of
books and articles by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. Leading Indian
thinkers have called Gunon the most authentic expositor of Hindu
metaphysics in any Western language.
Ren Gunon's Introduction to the Study of Hindu Doctrines can serve
as an introduction to all his later works-especially those which,
like Man and His Becoming according to the Vedanta, The Symbolism
of the Cross, The Multiple States of the Being, and Studies in
Hinduism, expound the more profound aspects of metaphysical
doctrines in greater detail. In Part I Guenon clears away certain
ingrained prejudices inherited from the 'Renaissance', with its
adulation of the Greco-Roman culture and its compensating
depreciation-both deliberate and instinctive-of other
civilizations. In Part II he establishes the fundamental
distinctions between various modes of thought and brings out the
real nature of metaphysical or universal knowledge-an understanding
of which is the first condition for the personal realization of
that 'Knowledge' which partakes of the Absolute. Words like
'religion', 'philosophy', 'symbolism', 'mysticism', and
'superstition', are here given a precise meaning. Part III presents
a more detailed examination of the Hindu doctrine and its
applications at different levels, leading up to the Vedanta, which
constitutes its metaphysical essence. Lastly, Part IV resumes the
task of clearing away current misconceptions, but is this time
concerned not with the West itself, but with distortions of the
Hindu doctrines that have arisen as a result of attempts to read
into them, or to graft onto them, modern Western conceptions. The
concluding chapter lays down the essential conditions for any
genuine understanding between East and West, which can only come
through the work of those who have attained, at least in some
degree, to the realization of 'wisdom uncreate'-that intellective,
suprarational knowledge called in the East jana, and in the West
gnosis.

To spare readers extended research into obscure back issues of
French journals long out of print, Miscellanea gathers together for
Anglophone readers various articles by Ren Gunon, and by
'Palingenius', his pseudonym during the time of La Gnose, a journal
he founded in 1909. These articles have been divided into three
categories: Metaphysics and Cosmology, Traditional Arts and
Sciences, and Some Modern Errors. From the first chapter of part
one, 'The Demiurge', which we believe is the first text he ever
submitted for publication (in 1909, at the age of twenty-three) to
'Profane Science in Light of Traditional Doctrines', of April-May
1950, more than forty years elapsed. The breadth of the topics
covered can be seen from a sampling of chapter titles: Monotheism
and Angelology; Spirit and Intellect; Silence and Solitude; The
Empiricism of the Ancients; Gnosis and the Spiritist Schools; The
Origins of Mormonism, On the Production of Numbers; Initiation and
the Crafts; and The Arts and their Traditional Conception. In the
latter two key chapters, the author explains how initiation became
necessary in the measure that humanity receded from the 'primordial
state', presenting the reasons for the degeneration of the arts and
crafts due to the 'fall' or descending trajectory of the present
cycle; but he also points out the possibility of an initiation into
the 'lesser mysteries' based upon the craft of building which still
exists validly in the West.
The classical Triad of the Chinese tradition is Heaven-Man-Earth.
Rene Guenon places this ternary in the context of universal
metaphysics by identifying Heaven with Essence and Earth with
Substance, the mediator between them being Man, whose cosmic
function is to embody spirit (Heaven) while simultaneously
spiritualizing matter (Earth). Exploring Chinese cosmology further,
Guenon sheds light on such archetypal polarities as Heaven and
Earth, Yin and Yang, Solve et Coagula, Celestial and Terrestrial
Numbers, the Square and the Compass, the Double Spiral, and the
Being and the Environment, while pointing to their synthetic unity
in terms of ternaries, such as the Three Worlds, Triple Time,
Spiritus, Anima, and Corpus, Sulfur, Mercury and Salt, and God,
Man, and Nature. Perhaps more completely than in any other work,
Guenon demonstrates in The Great Triad how any integral tradition
is both a mirror reflecting universal themes found in all other
intact traditions and an entire conceptual cosmos unto itself,
unique and incomparable.
