Frithjof Schuon: Frases en inglés

[2012, Echoes of Perennial Wisdom, World Wisdom, 38, 978-1-93659700-0]

“The reason for the existence of a religion, from one point of view at least, is to be found precisely in those things wherein it differs from other religions.”

Frithjof Schuon libro The Transcendent Unity of Religions

The Transcendent Unity of Religions (1953; revised edition 1984)

“What most men do not know - and if they could know it, why could they be called on to believe it?”

Frithjof Schuon libro Understanding Islam

Is that this blue sky, though illusory as an optical error and belied by the vision of interplanetary space, is nonetheless an adequate reflection of the Heaven of the Angels and the Blessed and that therefore, despite everything, it is this blue mirage, flecked with silver clouds, that is right and will have the final say; to be astonished at this amounts to admitting that it is by chance that we are here on earth and see the sky as we do.
Understanding Islam (1963)

“It ought to be possible to restore to the word "philosophy" its original meaning: philosophy − the "love of wisdom" − is the science of all the fundamental principles; this science operates with intuition, which "perceives," and not with reason alone, which "concludes."”

Frithjof Schuon libro The Transfiguration of Man

Subjectively speaking, the essence of philosophy is certitude; for the moderns, on the contrary, the essence of philosophy is doubt: the philosopher is supposed to reason without any premise (voraussetzungsloses Denken), as if this condition were not itself a preconceived idea; this is the classical contradiction of all relativism. Everything is doubted except for doubt. The solution to the problem of knowledge − if there is a problem − could not possibly be this intellectual suicide that is the promotion of doubt; on the contrary, it lies in having recourse to a source of certitude that transcends the mental mechanism, and this source − the only one there is − is the pure Intellect, or Intelligence as such.
[2005, The Transfiguration of Man, World Wisdom, 3, 978-0-94153219-8]

[2012, Echoes of Perennial Wisdom, World Wisdom, 20, 978-1-93659700-0]
