A Schuon Sentence
A. K. Saran’s article appeared in the journal Sophia as part of an issue dedicated to the life and thought of the late Frithjof Schuon. It is a wide-ranging view of some key Schuonian, and thus “Perennialist,” concepts, as Saran focuses on Schuon’s book The Eye of the Heart. A. K. Saran also incorporates much traditional Hindu thought and the words of A. K. Coomaraswamy throughout this exploration of some aspects of Schuon’s thought.
