In his writings, Guénon proposes to hand down eastern metaphysics and traditions, these doctrines being defined by him as of "universal character",[3] and adapt them to western readers "while keeping strictly faithful to their spirit".[4]
I'd push back on Guenon's 'universal character' claim: calling Eastern metaphysics universal often serves as cover to selectively adapt and domesticate it for Western readers. Faithfulness to the 'spirit' can become a loophole to erase context, power, and difference. If the aim is genuine dialogue, we should name specific doctrines, acknowledge historical tensions, and test how Western readers actually engage with the material.
