The definitive guide to Traditionalism: the world's least-known major philosophy, but one that is essential for understanding our past, present and future
Traditionalism is founded on ancient teachings that, its followers argue, have been handed down from time immemorial, forming a basis of the sacred order that must be defended from modernity and the disorder it brings. It has been used to encourage respect for the environment, compose great music and reduce hostility between followers of different religions.
But Traditionalism has applied to darker causes: from the election of Donald Trump to fascist movements and even terrorism. How has Traditionalism been so influential for so long, yet so little acknowledged and understood? Its followers have never aimed to reach the masses and have sought to affect the world quietly. In this book, the first of its kind for a wide audience, Traditionalism's history, ideas and profound impact are laid out, shining a light onto this shadowy world and the thought of its three founders, René Guénon, Julius Evola and Frithjof Schuon.
Once you understand Traditionalism, you will see its influence everywhere.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. From a leading expert, a history and analysis of Traditionalism, one of the least-known and most influential philosophies, that is having a profound impact on politics todayWestern politics has changed. The Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 were not random events, nor was the one-third share of the vote won by Marine Le Pen in the 2017 French presidential election. The classic contest between the centre-left and centre-right no longer shapes Western politics. Some of the leading architects of the swing to populism are all affiliated with Traditionalism- Steve Bannon in the United States. Aleksandr Dugin in Russia. Olavo de Carvalho in Brazil. All rising to positions of power in the past decade.This book explores and explains Traditionalism, one of the most influential and least understood of these ideologies. Traditionalism combines a radical critique of modernity with a vision of a better alternative that is rooted in timeless spiritual precepts. Traditionalists hold that modernity is not, as many people think, the triumph of human progress, but rather the result of inexorable decline. Modern humanity, they contend, has lost touch with the ancient spiritual and philosophical truths that were once the basis of a healthy society composed of people living as they are meant to live.It is essential to understand this philosophy that is shaping our world, and Mark Sedgwick is the perfect guide.
