“No matter what, we need to get to work on a global revision of modern science — not simply repeat what Guénon and other Traditionalists have said on this topic, but rather, being fully conscious of everything, to take concrete steps within the individual disciplines.
Without gazing at the opposing side’s maneuvers — the maneuvers of the spirit of the modern world, the prince of the modern world — but still taking their movement into account, our task is to correct the sciences in accordance with our own Traditionalist initiative, to take the dead-end disciplines and raise them up to the holistic paradigm from which they catastrophically fell.
This demands colossal labor of thought and the tension of scholarly will. We should not wait for holism to come around from the current scientific community. Its path was primordially directed into the darkness. We must affirm and soteriologically extract out from under the burden of the spiritual Antichrist everything in these sciences that has been preserved from the pre-modern, sacred array.
More precisely, we must revive the sacred sciences against the profanation to which they are subjected today.
Only this will be the New University’s adequate response to the fresh and, as far as we can see, final strategy of our ontological enemy.”
