Spiritual Perspectives and Human Facts

This new edition of Philospher Frithjof Schoun's classic SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVES & HUMAN FACTS is a fully revised translation of the French edition. SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVES & HUMAN FACTS contains a new extensive appendix of previously unpublished selections from Schuon's letters and other private writings related to the topics covered in the chapters. Schuon, the foremost representative of the Perennialist school of comparative religious thought, writes on an extraordinary range of subjects, including the limitations of modern civilisation and its modes of thought, the role of aesthetics and symbolism in art and nature, the "way of love" and the "way of knowledge" in religion and the Hindu Vedanta. Of particular interest are the groundbreaking sections on the interplay between love, knowledge and universal virtue in spiritual life.
