Symbols of Sacred Science

René Guenon (1886-1951) was a leading French metaphysician in the fields of esotericism, symbolism and the comparative study of religions. The present collection brings together all the articles on symbolism that René Guénon himself did not include in one of his works, and constitutes the most important part of his work in this field.

René Guénon was a influential French-Egyptian intellectual who wrote on metaphysics, esotericism, and symbolism. He aimed to make Eastern metaphysics accessible to Western readers while staying true to their spirit. He was initiated into Islamic esotericism and his works have been translated into over twenty languages.

REVIEW QUOTES:

“Previously purchased, a major work in the understanding of sacred symbols, to be completed by works by Nicolas Flavel, in particular on cathedrals, gives a breath of mysticism and intelligence in a dark period where landmarks disappear. René Guenon enjoys a deserved aura, he goes much further than Paul Le Cour, who is a simple ‘popularizer’, but there is nothing pejorative about it, putting certain concepts within the reach of the greatest number (New Age).” – Baboo’s Reviews – Amazon.com

“Excellent work from an author that walks the path of tradition with a deeply erudite yet objective eye.

An extremely acccurate and articulate essay on the symbols of an ageless wisdom explained with In a plain and clear language not affected by the sophistication often encountered in many others authors on the subject.

It will inform, educate and enlighten the reader on a complex subject that touches many layers of human history and life. Excellent” – Mario’s Reviews – Goodreads
