Description

Centered on Taoism, this text is also characteristically rich in illuminating cross-references to other traditions. The ternary in question - Heaven, Earth, and Human - is an inescapable feature of all spirituality; it possesses the possibility of functioning as an initiatory means of support for inner realization.

Rene Guenon (1886-1951) was one of the founders of the Perennialist or Traditionalist school of comparative religious thought. In a time of unquestioning belief in the dogmas of progress and evolution, Guenon issued a devastating critique of the modern world. A pioneering philosopher and orientalist, he also provided the intellectual keys for a show more reclamation of the West's spiritual riches through an exposition of the Eastern metaphysical doctrines. show less
