It begins with Guénon’s foundational critique of modernity and his advocacy for a return to traditional metaphysical principles, which laid the groundwork for a universal understanding of spiritual truth. Building on this legacy, Sayyid Hossein Nasr expanded the discourse by integrating the rich heritage of Islamic thought with the broader tradition of perennial philosophy, emphasizing the continuity of sacred wisdom across cultures. Frithjof Schuon further refined these ideas by synthesizing insights from diverse religious and esoteric traditions, thus reinforcing the notion of an underlying metaphysical unity. Importantly, this paper does not advocate for a literal unity of religions but rather highlights the shared universal wisdom that emerges from these timeless spiritual insights. Collectively, the works of these thinkers illuminate a progressive historical narrative that reaffirms the timeless quest for knowledge and the transcendent dimension underlying all religious traditions.

The disagreement is based upon the actions of the states over the history, and whether these actions facilitated or exacerbated the difficulties facing the society. Moreover, there is a very rich philosophical history about what the state is responsible of doing and what is forbidden even to come close to. Many political scientists and economists like Adam Smith, John Keynes, and other expounded upon that issue. Therefore, I will start with sir Keynes because I think his theory is the most applicable in case of the developed countries and also could be used as a measuring stick for the rest of the theories because of the balance he was able to achieve.
