Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the basic principles and main themes of the traditional school through the texts of its most important representatives. The author views the traditional school as an esoteric paradigm that aims to democratize religious truths. While the traditional school glorifies tradition, the author sees it as a typical expression of modern or even postmodern times. The aim of the paper is to critically examine the relationship between the traditional school and Islamic doctrine. A considerable number of traditionalists converted to Islam, but starting point of its doctrine is not Islam.
