René Guénon. Lecture 1: "Traditionalism and Traditional Knowledge"
This is the first lecture in a series by philosopher, translator, and Sanskrit teacher Maxim Makovchik on René Guénon. Guénon is an important figure in many respects: without him, it is impossible to understand Traditionalism, 20th-century philosophy, or some modern ideologies. This author is of great interest to intellectual circles, and his contribution to the description and systematization of traditions and traditional knowledge is invaluable.
A lecture by Maxim Makovchik, philosopher and translator of René Guénon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, and other authors. For over 10 years, Maxim has been translating the works of the French Traditionalist. He is also the editor of the Minsk Corpus of Guénon's Works, a systematic catalog of the philosopher's best translations into Russian.
