Does Allah have the ability to love?
He explicitly refutes Spinozism tho... what fundamental problems does Guenon restate?

I don’t think his, or really anyone’s, explanation of how you get multiplicity from the monad, or how the one & the many can coexist, is satisfactory. Mabye I just don’t understand Vedanta or something. Panetheism just seems hard to avoid. Mabye I am just polluted with Nietzsche.
-
Have you read Guénons metaphysical works?
-
Like five or six of his books, along with quite a bit of Evola, Schuon & Coomaraswamy.
-
If by metaphysical works you mean the Hindu & Vedanta stuff, then yeah.
-
Mostly referring to Man and his Becoming, Symbolism of the Cross and Multiple States of the Being
-
I haven’t actually read ‘the multiple states of the Being’ or ‘Symbolism of the Cross’. Will do that. Could you paraphrase the basic thrust of the argument?
-
"Existence is nothing but the total manifestation of Being, or, to be more exact, the realisation, in manifested mode, of all the possibilities that Being implies and contains principially in its very one-ness"
-
Not sure how to capture the meaning in a short argument, would really just be quoting the first chapters of the books, which I think are already quite short
