Introducing the Writings of Frithjof Schuon
This is the complete “Introduction” to the book — some other articles on this site are excerpted from this piece. It was written by Prof Seyyed Hossein Nasr for one of his most voluminous and important works, The Essential Frithjof Schuon (World Wisdom, 2005). In it, Dr Nasr covers salient features of Schuon’s work; Schuon’s place in the study of comparative religion; his central message or theme; Schuon’s thoughts on the “transcendent unity of religions”; his approach to epistemology and philosophy in general; and Schuon’s contributions to thought on art, beauty, the spiritual life, and many other topics. The “Introduction” ends with brief synopses of Schuon’s individual books. This is among the best summaries of the importance of Frithjof Schuon’s work in many areas of contemporary and traditional thought, written by one of the people best qualified for the task.
The Introduction to “Prayer Fashions Man”
Editor James S. Cutsinger provided this probing “Introduction” to a selection of Schuon’s writings on prayer, Prayer Fashions Man. Cutsinger summarizes the various types of prayer covered by Schuon, as well as Schuon’s overall perspective.
Frithjof Schuon and Prayer
The importance of prayer was a fundamental theme in the writings of Frithjof Schuon. This article sets out to “draw attention to the subtlety, depth, and comprehensiveness that characterize Schuon’s elucidation of prayer, an elucidation which renders prayer not only an intelligible necessity for man in his quest for God, but also an irresistible summons and an inestimable gift from God to man.” This is accomplished through a general survey of Schuon’s perspective upon prayer and then a look at “the modes and degrees of prayer, beginning with the most ordinary meaning of prayer—personal petition to God—and culminating in the most exalted form of prayer—methodic invocation of the Name of God.”
