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.

    “What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest person possesses when, in connection with nature and the world, he experiences himself as “man”!”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The Transcendentalist adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspiration, and in ecstacy.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I go to school to youth to learn the future.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
