In Symbols of Sacred Science, René Guénon explores the profound relationship between symbolism and the universal principles underlying sacred knowledge. Delving deep into the metaphysical and initiatory meanings behind the symbols that have shaped traditional science, philosophy, and spirituality, Guénon uncovers the hidden truths encoded within sacred forms. Guénon reveals how the use of symbols—found across all cultures and religions—acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms, conveying profound metaphysical concepts that cannot be articulated through ordinary language. Through his exploration of these symbols, he illuminates their role in preserving esoteric wisdom and guiding humanity back to a direct experience of the transcendent. A cornerstone of Guénon’s broader work on the metaphysical foundations of tradition, Symbols of Sacred Science offers a rare and essential study for anyone interested in the deeper meanings of sacred symbols, and how they function as expressions of timeless, universal truths. René Guénon (1886–1951) was a pioneering French metaphysician, philosopher, and esotericist whose writings bridged Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. A leading voice in the Traditionalist School, Guénon sought to restore timeless metaphysical principles amid the disorientation of the modern world. His works explore symbolism, initiation, sacred knowledge, and the unity underlying all authentic spiritual paths. After relocating to Egypt in 1930, he embraced Sufism and lived the remainder of his life in Cairo, deepening his engagement with Islamic mysticism. Today, Guénon remains a key influence on scholars, seekers, and spiritual thinkers worldwide.
