Westerners, including even those who were true metaphysicians up to a certain point, have never known metaphysic in its entirety… Westerners have little natural aptitude for metaphysics Here Rene Guenon shows a uncharacteristic sort of racist thought, since that is hardly a metaphysical proposition, but rather an empirical assertion with … Continue reading →
