Product Description
In his most fundamental book, The Transcendent Unity of Religions, Frithjof Schuon examined in a masterly way the great religious traditions of East and West, showing both their essential unity and the necessity for their diversity. In this, his second book - equally challenging but very different in style - he shows how this same truth of unity in diversity and diversity in unity can illuminate the mind of man. The near horizons which have become habitual limitations and are dispersed and spiritual perspectives, which are indeed normal for human fault, are disclosed. The differing 'spiritual contours' of the Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Far Eastern worlds are shown as a result of necessary differences in their perspective and symbolisms.
Frithjoh Schuon has an outstandingly clear view of the transcendent Truth underlying the various traditional religions, as well as a vivid understanding of spiritual necessities under vitally different conditions. This, together with a forceful style, makes him one of the most significant spiritual writers in the world today.
"The man is a living wonder; intellectually a propos religion, equally in depth and breadth, the paragon of our time. I know of no living thinker who begins to rival him..." - Rodhe Professor Huston Smith on Schuon. Schuon collaborated for over twenty years with René Guénon and was named by Ananda Coomaraswamy as one of the very few who are qualified to interpret authentically the Oriental doctrines. He was for many years a contributor to Studies in Comparative Religion.
