“What do I think of Western Civilisation? I think it would be a very good idea”…

— Mahatma Gandhi

“Because the Western Civilisation is dominated by dualistic thinking, holistic scientists and philosophers don't get the recognition they deserve”…

— Satish Kumar

To avoid the self-destruction of Western Civilisation now is the time to stand on the shoulders of its intellectual giants and synthesise their ideas.

Particularly, the philosophical ideas of

• Euclid, Aristotle and Plato;

• Augustine, Aquinas and Duns Scotus;

• Descartes;

• Bacon;

• Kant;

• Rosmini;

• Peirce;

• Husserl;

• Heidegger; and

• Del Noce.

“The very idea of Europe… … is founded on the tradition of Logos”…

– Augusto del Noce
