Quote of the Week: Robin Waterfield, “René Guénon and the Future of the West”
“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.
