ALTERNOOSPHERIC THEME IN THE LATE HERITAGE OF RENÉ GUÉNON: ANTI-TRADITIONAL CIVILIZATION VS TRUE CIVILIZATION
The focus of the authors of the article is the finale of the famous book by Rene Guenon "Symbols of Sacred Science", subjected to hermeneutic analysis. Comparison of traditional and civilization and true civilization is carried out. The latter is depicted in the characterological features of the universal triumph of the smart sphere, very close to the noospheric state of the anthropocosmic environment. The connection between the noospheric discourse and the evolutionism of modern times is drawn. The specifics of René Guénon's alternoospheric consciousness are revealed. Parallels are drawn between the views of René Guénon on the “other humanity” and the historical dynamics in the works of Sergius Bulgakov (“The Apocalypse of John (Experience of Dogmatic Interpretation)”), Nikolai Berdyaev (“The Existential Dialectics of the Divine and the Human”), Karl Jaspers (“The Origins of History and its goal"), Arnold Toynbee ("Civilization before the court of history"), Martin Heidegger ("European nihilism").
