“Tradition was essentially the body of knowledge and self understanding which is common to all men in all ages and nationalities. Its expression and clarification forms the basis of all traditional wisdom and its application the basis of all traditional societies.”
▪ Robin Waterfield, René Guénon and the Future of the West: The Life and Writings of a 20th Century Metaphysician (Sophia Perennis, 2002) extract from page 80.
Reblogged this on Manticore Press.
That photograph is *not* of the Robin Waterfield who wrote “René Guénon and the Future of the West”. I know this for certain as I knew him.
Thank you for letting us know and we apologise for the error. The photo has been removed. If you know of a correct representation of the author quoted, we would of course be very glad to include that one instead.
