The book offered to the attention of readers consists of two works: actually from the work of the famous thinker-traditionalist Rene Guenon "Spiritual dominion and worldly power," as well as a large biographical essay by Jean Ursen "Rene Guenon: to the understanding of one complex person," which recreates in detail not only the event outline of the life of Guenon, but also examines in detail his creative evolution. Guenon reveals in detail the problem of the deep nature of power, especially considering in detail the ratio of sacred and profane in power. The large cultural and historical material attracted by the French thinker makes the book an exciting, albeit difficult, intellectual and spiritual journey into the world of intimate knowledge.
