Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



As broad an investigation as the records of knowledge allow, and as deep a reflection upon the facts elucidated--this is the aim of the serious philosopher. He will be careful to take all the facts and all the evidence--so far as he can get them--into account, and not disregard such portion of it as is distasteful to him, not neglect those findings which are unknown to or unwanted by the kind of society in which he is brought up and lives.
