The Elect and the Predestination of Knowledge: ‘Esoterism’ and ‘Exclusivism’: A Schuonian Perspective
The author of the essay states his purpose thus: “This paper considers the idea of the elite, or elect, with respect to the problems of Predestination and the notion of the exclusivity of esotericism. It is our opinion that the questions raised here can only be resolved in light of the metaphysical knowledge that is the proper subject of esotericism, where, as said, this is understood as the sophia perennis. Frithjof Schuon stands as the pre-eminent voice of the sophia perennis for our day and age and it is thus that this paper is largely a reiteration of what he has said on these points.”
The Mystery of the Two Natures
Combining a Socratic and a personal approach, Cutsinger looks to the writings and insights of Frithjof Schuon to examine “how in good conscience can a traditional Christian accept the idea that there is a ‘transcendental unity of religions’?” The author finds answers in a deeper understanding of Christ’s two natures: human and Divine.
