This is the view of the New Atheists, and in fact it is also the belief of modern man. Above all modern man believes that we cannot have certain knowledge beyond what the scientific method reveals. The possibility of knowledge of an entirely different and superior order all but vanished from the consciousness of Western man after the so-called Enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe perennial wisdom does not deny any scientific knowledge insofar as it really is knowledge and not \u003cem\u003ead hoc \u003c\/em\u003econjecture or mere hypothesis, but it offers an incomparably more profound view of the nature of reality and of the human being. Above all, the perennial wisdom illumines the essential nature of intelligence and thus points to the true source of certitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a much needed insight into the worldview of the \u003cem\u003eSophia Perennis\u003c\/em\u003e, and it is a timely reminder of its depth and its urgent relevance to our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough many works have been published to refute the excesses and exaggerations of the New Atheism clique, this is the first one to do so starting from a strictly metaphysical and esoteric perspective, as is usual with the authors of the Perennial School, including luminaries such as Frithjof Schuon, Ren  Gu non, Titus Burckhardt and others. In doing so, it is able to elucidate directly and with greater clarity all the problematic theological points and contentions implicit in the modernist misunderstanding of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-271623\"\u003eGustavo Polit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Matheson Trust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908092151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908092157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL017000\"\u003eComparative Religion\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL004000\"\u003eAtheism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL106000\"\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Science\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matheson Trust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44436958675181,"sku":"9781908092151","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_51859374-123e-4a19-9883-5677aadf482c.jpg?v=1700118957","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/breaking-the-new-atheist-spell-in-the-light-of-perennial-wisdom-9781908092151","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
