Science Moderne Et Sagesse Traditionnelle by Titus Burckhardt
This work contrasts the narrow, instrumental worldview of modern science with the integrative, metaphysical perspective of traditional wisdom, arguing that the technical mastery and quantitative knowledge of contemporary civilization have brought material progress at the cost of spiritual meaning, symbolic understanding, and inner realization. It critiques reductionism and the myth of linear progress, emphasizes the qualitative, sacred dimensions of cosmology, art and ritual preserved by traditional cultures, and calls for a recovery of transcendent principles and a balanced relationship between empirical method and perennial truth so that human knowing can be both effective and spiritually grounded.
