René Guénon

$23.04
René Guénon's The Crisis of the Modern World offers a penetrating critique of modernity, arguing that contemporary civilization has abandoned metaphysical truth in favor of materialism and fragmentation. Drawing on traditionalist philosophy, Guénon contrasts ancient spiritual unity with the disintegration of modern thought, where quantity replaces quality and intuition yields to rationalism alone. He warns that this imbalance leads to cultural and intellectual decline. The work calls for a return to timeless principles rooted in sacred knowledge. Dense yet provocative, it challenges readers to reconsider the foundations of progress, knowledge, and civilization itself in an increasingly disoriented world.
