Raison d'Etre

"Random Enquiry" is an offshoot of Random Musings, a column in my other blog "Coeur Mondial". Random Musings was dedicated to articles of more worldly concerns, which as many of those who followed Coeur Mondial could attest, were a digression to the more ethereal contents of the other columns there.

This blog is an attempt to concentrate my more secular writing to impose order in my previous blog. However, I wish to underscore that Random Enquiry is NOT a necessary concession to current modes of thinking that attempts to dichotomize the secular from the spiritual, which at times reaches the extreme of treating the two as diametrically opposed and inconsistent with each other. This I oppose in the strongest positive terms. Rather I am following here the lines of what Nicolas Sarkozy terms as, "laicite positive", positive secularism, which respects the two as co-existing spheres of humanity each allowing the independent development of the other as well as mutually enriching it.

I do hope that this blog gain the same readership, if not surpass my other blog.

Enjoy!
