Understanding Tradition and Modernity - Lecture by Claude Polin
Lecture by Claude Polin, Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne, given at Lauzon (Canada) on October 12, 1993, on the theme: "Tradition and Modernity: The Natural Man and the Modern Man".
>Tradition is the universal reason which conforms to reality, partly comprehensible by science tempered by prudence, and therefore to the existence of God. Modernity is the subjective reason (therefore anti-rational because reason supposes its universality and universality supposes the non-contradiction) which wants to change the real through the science to satisfy its human desires and so to take for God by deciding good and evil.
