Schuon as Poet and Artist
Editor Seyyed Hossein Nasr discusses the artistic side of Frithjof Schuon’s body of work, namely his poetry and paintings, and the aesthetic sensibility reflected throughout Schuon’s writings. It should be noted that this was written some years before Schuon’s many volumes of later poetry was published. The piece was excerpted from Dr. Nasr’s “Introducing the Writings of Frithjof Schuon” (the ‘Introduction’) in The Essential Frithjof Schuon.
The Language and Style of Schuon’s Writings
These observations on the language and stle of Frithjof Schuon’s writing were excerpted from editor Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s “Introducing the Writings of Frithjof Schuon” (the ‘Introduction’) in The Essential Frithjof Schuon. In the piece, Dr. Nasr shares insights on some linguistic and literary aspects of Schuon’s writing, ending with how these aspects may contribute to the impact of Schuon’s prose upon many readers.
The Foreword to “Frithjof Schuon and the Perennial Philosophy”
In this “Foreword” to author Harry Oldmeadow’s study of the intellectual and spiritual message of Frithjof Schuon, Dr. William Stoddart (a close associate of Schuon’s for many decades) situates Schuon’s writings in the history of human thought, gives suggestions to new readers on how to approach Schuon’s “difficult” expositions, and touches on the esoteric nature and intent of Schuon’s work. Stoddart praises Oldmeadow’s book for its clarity and comprehensiveness.
