One can only be surprised by this, considering his intellectual scope and his spiritual relevance. Born in 1907, at the dawn of a century marked by the end of what could still remain of the old European order and by the decline and colonial subjection of the traditional Asian and African worlds, Frithjof Schuon elaborated his work on the fringe of the dominant currents of thought of modernity. He died in 1998, at the end of a century that saw the alternation of an unparalleled materialist solidification and an exasperation of the psychic dissolution of a disoriented world. Although situated in this properly apocalyptic context, the work of Schuon is the expression of the development and the conceptual refinement of a metaphysical conscience that owes nothing to the historical conditioning of modernity and that constitutes the proper genius of a great master of wisdom. The least of the paradoxes is not that the trans-historical perenniality of this vision constitutes the most relevant response to the uncertainties and afflictions of contemporary humanity. Hence the urgent need for a wider diffusion.
