I really respect this thinker, but this time I fail to grasp his argument. He says that God is the Center, and without Center (that is, without God) one loses balance and resorts to extremism. I could well agree with that. However, the hard facts suggest that extremists are not atheists, but people strongly believing in God. While not all religious people are extremists (ofcourse), it somehow appears that most extremists are deeply religious.In this view, i would agree more with Guenon, namely that real Center is not necessarily God, but pure Metaphysics instead. A religious man may well be a saint, or a balanced ordinary man but also a vulgar extremist. But a metaphysician is always and de facto balanced.
