The Traditionalist School refers to a philosophical and cultural movement that emphasizes the importance of ancient wisdom, spiritual traditions, and the continuity of knowledge across generations. It often critiques modernity and seeks to preserve the values and teachings of past civilizations, viewing them as essential for understanding human existence and purpose. Key figures in the Traditionalist School include René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon, who argued that modern society has lost its spiritual foundation. They advocate for a return to metaphysical principles and the recognition of universal truths found in various religious traditions, promoting a holistic view of reality that transcends materialism.
