Both “The Sense of the Supernatural” and “Secrets of the Christian Way” are available on Amazon. Unless you know René Guénon’s work, I don’t think “Guénonian Esoterism And Christian Mystery” is so relevant, for all its insight.

There’s a couple of essays by Borella in English on my site: http://www.theveil.net — he’s the second name listed under ‘The Sapient Spring’ in the navigation bar.

I cannot endorse the article above enough, by the way, I’m a huge fan of Borella, and just wish more of his output was available in English.

Jean Borella’s “Sense of the Supernatural” is in English, as are a couple of books that he’s done on Guenon. I find his book on the supernatural to be worth savoring. It is seemingly straightforward, but there is much going on under the surface.

Marion has a whole school of followers. He’s very fashionable among certain types of Catholic intellectuals in American Catholic universities, and at the University of Chicago, where he teaches part time. Many of his books are translated into English, but because he engages in the postmodern stuff, I can’t see how they would be of any interest or value to regular folk (that is, to non-eggheads).

Remi Brague, on the other hand, has done some very interesting and accessible books, though he does not come out directly as a theologian in the way that Marion does. Several of his books have been translated into English. You can actually read reviews of them on the First Things website. I find his “Wisdom of the World” to be very interesting, and his later work on Islam in relation to the Christian west is exceedingly relevant.

As for the list of Guenonians, they have many, many books translated into English, or even primarily written in English. Wolfgang Smith is actually a traditionalist Catholic, and his books, all written in English, are highly valuable in regard to the ontology of modern physics. We have talked about him on this blog before.

E.F. Schumacher is a famous economist and Catholic convert who wrote the highly popular “Small is Beautiful.” He also did a book on religious metaphysics entitled “A Guide for the Perplexed.” The title comes from a work written by a medieval Jewish theologian named Moses Maimonides.

Philip Sherrard is an Eastern Orthodox theologian and Guenonian whose “Recovery of the Sacred” is in the same league as Borella’s “Sense of the Supernatural.” I would highly recommend it.

The Guenonians have a much stronger anti-modern streak than you may be comfortable with, but they also get to the roots of the fundamental issues of modernity much better than the standard academic philosophers of our day. They understand that the fundamental question of man is the religious question. Most of the postmodern philosophers, on the other hand, are evasive in this regard.
