Synopsis
This collection of letters by Frithjof Schuon, the foremost spokesman of the perennial philosophy, contains nearly 200 newly translated letters from Schuon&’s youth to old age as written to friends, spiritual seekers, scholars, and others. Among the letters are those that address, in a simpler and more accessible manner, the same metaphysical subjects that continually recur in Schuon&’s published works. Other letters relate to the spiritual life in its simple and concrete aspects, by answering such fundamental questions as &“Why is there evil in the world?&”, &“How can I recognize if I am on a wrong path?&”, and &“What should I do to be saved?&” Finally, there are letters that relate to various aspects of Schuon&’s life, most of which were written to his closest friends. While not a comprehensive autobiography, these letters offer an intimate view of certain key moments in his life. Taken as a whole, the present collection of letters offers insights into the content of Frithjof Schuon&’s message—his exposition of the perennial philosophy—as well as a glimpse into his life as messenger of that philosophy.
