St James Independent Schools - Connection With The School of Economic Science

Connection With The School of Economic Science

See also: Leon MacLaren

Although the St James' Schools are legally independent from the School of Economic Science they continue a close association with it, seeking to preserve the ethos of its philosophical principles. These are derived from the Advaita Vedanta philosophical tradition, which the schools describe as encompassing the concept of unity, and of a multicultural approach which embraces all faiths – and no faith. SES philosophy is taught and transcendental meditation is practiced in the schools.

Subsequent to the Inquiry (see 'Criticisms' below), the schools have produced a booklet, Answer to Frequently Asked Questions, in which they describe their relationship with the School of Economic Science.

    “We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
    —Henry David David (1817–1862)

    “The bourgeois takes economic power very seriously, and often worships it quite unselfishly.”
    —Nicolai A. Berdyaev (1874–1948)

    “In the new science of the twenty-first century, not physical force but spiritual force will lead the way. Mental and spiritual gifts will be more in demand than gifts of a physical nature. Extrasensory perception will take precedence over sensory perception. And in this sphere woman will again predominate.”
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
