Formes traditionnelles et cycles cosmiques

by René Guénon

On aurait pu intituler les articles réunis pour la première fois dans ce recueil «Fragments d'une histoire inconnue» puisque après une étude sur les cycles cosmiques, on trouve deux articles sur l'Atlantide et l'Hyperborée, suivis de textes sur les traditions hébraïque, égyptienne et gréco-latine. Les connaissances cosmologiques traditionnelles contenues dans Le Roi du monde, Le Règne de la quantité et Symboles fondamentaux de la science sacrée et dans le présent volume constituent une somme qui n'a, sans doute, son équivalent dans aucune langue.

Genres: Religion, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Occult, Mythology, Spirituality, History

Reviews

[Paithan · Rating 1 out of 5]

The title is a lie. This is not a text devoted to explaining cosmic cycles. This is a collection of short texts written by Guenon in which he shoots down the theories and writings of his contemporaries.

He does so in a manner nearly incomprehensible to me. I felt like I was reading something in a language I only half knew.

[Aaron Schuschu · Rating 3 out of 5]

Starts off talking about kalpas but then drifts off into Kabbalah and Hermeticism and the whole even traditionalists think traditionalists aren’t traditionalist enough, which is par for the course for traditionalism. At least the jab at Evola was intriguing.

Özellikle bu eserdeki kitap eleştirileri sayesinde Guénon'un bakış açısını daha iyi anlayabiliyorsunuz.

Farklı yazılardan oluşan bu derlemesi özellikle kitap eleştirileri ve M. Eliade eleştirisi Guenon'u anlamak ve aslında farklı yorumları anlamak için mühim.
