The Philosophy of Seyyed Hossein Nasr
|
 |
"I consider modernism as a philosophy whose very premises and assumptions I oppose and against which I have written for over four decades. But the hands of destiny have placed me in this day and age and by virtue of that fact I am a contemporary.... The presence of the perennial or traditional point of view is as much a part of the contemporary scene as modernist phenomena and ideas themselves."
So declares Seyyed Hossein Nasr in this valuable contribution to the LLP series. Against the tide of most Western philosophy, whether analytic or continental, Professor Nasr has consistently argued for a traditionalist view of philosophy that nevertheless remains in intelligent and informed engagement and dialog with the modernist positions he wishes to challenge.
