General introduction to the study of Hindu doctrines is a book by René Guénon published in 1921. It is the first work by this author. René Guénon explains what a tradition is in general, a term he can only apply to ancient and orthodox traditions, excluding all those generated or transformed by the modern and Western world. The book then presents the principles and perspectives, or darshanas, through which Hindu tradition can be studied. It concludes with an examination of the erroneous Western interpretations, according to him, prevalent concerning Hinduism.
