>> There is metaphysical truth, but it is irrelevant of good or bad and only pertains to the true nature of Being
>> Modern technology's obsession with quantification makes it extremely dangerous to mankind
>> Technology isn't inherently bad, we just need to prioritize the search for metaphysical truth

Rene Guenon and Martin Heidegger seem to have so much in common, but nobody ever talks about them together. They're pretty opposed to one another in their ways of life and how they formed their ideas, but their philosophies have a lot of overlap.
Thoughts?
I bet they do not tell how in details the method to experience the truth
Any examples of eastern influence on Heidegger?

I don't have any textual references offhand, but I definitely get a Daoist vibe from a lot of his ideas. This sums it up pretty nicely https://everipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger/#Heidegger_and_Eastern_thought

>Between 1937 and 1939, Nishitani studied with Heidegger, who was at the time beginning to grapple with the question of nihilism, and whose phenomenology had developed into a thinking of the “clearing of being” or what he would later characterize as a “topology of being” (Heidegger 1975, Vol. 15, 335). Influenced no doubt in part by his contact with Heidegger (and perhaps in turn influencing Heidegger, who frequently invited him to his house to learn about Zen), Nishitani developed, in his own highly original manner, existential and phenomenological aspects of Nishida's topology of absolute nothingness.

heidegger was a big fan of zen buddhist/scholar d.t. suzuki, going so far as to say this about him: "If I understand this man correctly, this is what I have been trying to say in all my writings."

Guenon was born Catholic too, but between his outspoken criticisms of Catholicism and Heidegger's explicit denial of an afterlife, I don't think either could be considered Catholic in the truest sense of the word.
