Description:
Frithjof Schuon's works provide invaluable keys to understanding the formal contradictions between the world's religions as well as their transcendent unity. This revised edition of his writings on esoterism--the inward and universal dimension of religion, also called the sophia perennis ("perennial wisdom")--features a new translation from the original French as well as more than 60 pages of new material, including previously unpublished selections from his letters and other private writings.
Review Quotes: "Schuon is the pre-eminent exponent of what has been called the traditionalist or perennialist school. . . . The esoterism with which Frithjof Schuon is concerned is . . . nothing other than the sophia perennis itself, the timeless wisdom that lies at the heart of the diverse religions."--Harry Oldmeadow, author of Frithjof Schuon and the Perennial Philosophy
