Intended primarily as an introductory guide to Schuon's writings, Harry Oldmeadow's book focuses on Schuon's exposition of metaphysics and the "transcendent unity of religions," his presentation of the religious traditions of East and West (including the spiritual heritage of the American Indians), his criticism of the modern world, and his views on sacred art and beauty. Also included is an overview of Schuon's paintings and poetry, as well as his insights on prayer and virtue in the spiritual life. This ground-breaking work provides the general reader with a coherent and systematic account of the Perennial Philosophy and covers all aspects of Schuon's work."--Publisher's website. 600 10 Schuon, Frithjof,|d1907-1998. 600 17 Schuon, Frithjof,|d1907-1998.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00000760 600 17 Schuon, Frithjof.|2idszbz 650 0 Religion|xPhilosophy. 650 0 Tradition (Philosophy) 650 7 Religion|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01093794 650 7 Tradition (Philosophy)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01153957 650 7 Religionsphilosophie.|2idszbz 650 7 Philosophia perennis.|2idszbz 650 7 Traditionalismus.|2idszbz 830 0 Perennial philosophy series. 994 92|bCKE
