He aquí un conjunto de artículos publicados por el gran René Guénon, en defensa del carácter tradicional del Cristianismo. Un título que, si bien menor en el repertorio de su autor, tiene gran mérito y mucho "jugo" para sacar, a pesar de la extrema densidad que puede alcanzar el texto en cierto momento.
Receuil d'articles publiés dans les "Etudes Traditionnelles". Intéressant d'autant plus que les renseignements sur le sujet sont par ailleurs peu abondants.

Rene Guenon (1886-1951) was one of the founders of the Perennialist or Traditionalist school of comparative religious thought. In a time of unquestioning belief in the dogmas of progress and evolution, Guenon issued a devastating critique of the modern world. A pioneering philosopher and orientalist, he also provided the intellectual keys for a show more reclamation of the West's spiritual riches through an exposition of the Eastern metaphysical doctrines. show less
