Miscellanea

Synopsis

What is here presented as a 'miscellany' of essays would in the case of most other writers on metaphysical subjects be considered a major work, both in breadth and depth. Some claim that René Guénon's views never 'developed', that his knowledge of metaphysics was innate, as primordial and unchangeable as truth itself. Though clearly an exaggeration-for example, A. K. Coomaraswamy and Marco Pallis led Guénon to considerably revise his views Buddhism-there is still a remarkable degree of truth to this claim.
