Tradition and Its Significance

Tradition in general implies historically shaped customs, rites, social precepts, ideas, values, and rules of conduct. It is something handed down to us from generation to generation.

Philosophical Perspectives

The problems of philosophy are essentially the problems of life.

It is the same spirit that binds everyone of us. That is the highest metaphysical principle that is found in our tradition.
