Аннотация

It is noted that the first attempts to describe the phenomenon of traditionalism begin from antiquity to modernity, when it is already possible to talk about the analytical and synthetic tradition, for example, in mathematics or chemistry. An important place is given to Rene Guenon’s analysis of the Islamic tradition in its Sufi reflection. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Islamic, Eastern civilization occupies an intermediate position between the East and the West. The study made it possible to establish special aspects in understanding the development of traditionalism, as well as to show its further influence on the comprehension of the experience of Renaissance thinking in the history of humanity.
