description: A prolific writer and author of over 24 books Rene Guenon was the founder of the Perennialist/Traditionalist school of comparative religious thought. Known for his discourses on the intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of the modern world symbolism tradition and the inner or spiritual dimension of religion this book is a compilation of his most important writings. A key component of his thought was the assertion that universal truths manifest themselves in various forms in the world's religions and his writings on Hinduism Taoism and Sufism are particularly illuminating in this regard.
