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.
