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.
