The definitive guide to Traditionalism: the world's least-known major philosophy but one that
is essential for understanding our past present and future Traditionalism is founded on
ancient teachings that its followers argue have been handed down from time immemorial
forming a basis of the sacred order that must be defended from modernity and the disorder it
brings. It has been used to encourage respect for the environment compose great music and
reduce hostility between followers of different religions. But Traditionalism has applied to
darker causes: from the election of Donald Trump to fascist movements and even terrorism. How
has Traditionalism been so influential for so long yet so little acknowledged and understood?
Its followers have never aimed to reach the masses and have sought to affect the world quietly.

profound impact are laid out shining a light onto this shadowy world and the thought of its
three founders René Guénon Julius Evola and Frithjof Schuon. Once you understand
Traditionalism you will see its influence everywhere.
