Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



The tendency for rationalism to enter all the departments of life--although it is still weak in most of them and vigorous only in the department of science--is a necessary inevitable and evolutionary one. It is to be accepted, not to be deplored as the mystical sentimentalists and religious traditionalists deplore it. In the end it will lead man out of the materialism it creates for him, and into loftiest comprehension of the truth about himself and the world--philosophy.
