The reader is invited to a publication that includes two works by the outstanding French thinker, expert in Eastern cultures, esoteric and mystical teachings Rene Guenon (1886–1951), first published in 1925: “Man and His Realization According to Vedanta” and “Eastern metaphysics."The value of Guenon's works lies in the breadth of coverage of themes and spiritual traditions. He tries not so much to contrast various spiritual teachings and schools, but to find a common basis that unites the Vedas and the Bible, the Upanishads and ancient wisdom, Samkhya and Taoism. The reader interested in ancient cultures and sacred knowledge will receive true pleasure from the rigorous intellectual and spiritual reflections of the “Cairo hermit", allowing you to get closer to the truth in the form in which it was understood by dedicated adepts of the East and West.
