Eastern Metaphysics

This edition presents for the first time the complete early works of the outstanding French metaphysician René Guénon (1886–1951). In each of them, he subjects numerous false doctrines that have blossomed in the European West and disguise themselves as ancient traditions to severe criticism. At the same time, having absorbed the hidden knowledge of Eastern traditions, the philosopher attempts to convey to his readers the fundamental principles of these spiritual teachings from firsthand experience. The proposed book contains a detailed introduction to Guénon's legacy and the main principles of metaphysical teaching that he will develop in one way or another throughout his life.
