Jean Borella is known as an unorthodox theologian, whose works combine the influence of Cardinal Henri de Lubac, one of the largest Catholic religious thinkers of the 20th century, and traditionalist Rene Guenon. Genon, according to J. Borell, discovered sacred science (primarily symbolism and cosmology) to a modern European, and also provided him with a new language through which you can talk about metaphysics with mathematical reality.
