Schuon's insights on religion, prayer, the spiritual life, aesthetics and philosophy shine throughout this book. Review: Universal Wisdom- the Religion of the Sages - _It is my belief that all serious students of the esoteric will eventually be drawn to the Philosophia Perennis. How could they not? It is the golden thread that runs through every path of real worth- and Frithjof Schuon was its greatest expositor in the modern age. _I mean it when I say that if I could have but one book on a desert island or solitary cell it would be this one. After all, Schuon himself approved this volume as truly representing the core of his essential thought. My next choice would be his entire collected works, but they run to over twenty volumes. He is more easily understood than Guenon, but without sacrificing any of the profound content. _What is the Philosophia Perennis? It is the metaphysical truth which has no beginning, and which remains the same in all expressions of wisdom. It is the esoteric core of all true religious traditions- recognized or not. It hinges on the truths innate in the human spirit and accessible in the pure Intellect. It is the way of the Gnostic, the pneumatic, and the theosopher- it is the way of Pythagoras and Plato. It is jnana. You see, Man's intelligence was made to know the Absolute and it is only the Absolute that man can know absolutely. Metaphysics is this knowledge. It is why we and our intellect exist. We are here to see things as they are- not as they appear (essence over form.) An intellect capable of this, but wasted on materialistic trivia is a cosmic tragedy. _The book itself is divided into nine sections: 1) Religion and Revelation, 2) The Study of Religions, 3) The Nature of Reality, 4) Art and the Spiritual Significance of Beauty, 5) Man, 6) The Spiritual Life, 8) Eschatogy and the Afterlife, 8) Criticism of the Modern World, 9) Spiritual Impressions. Review: Wonderful - The Traditionalist school is indebted to the lifelong work of Frithjof Schuon, who upheld the profound words of Guenon and Coomaraswamy, adding his own insights and lending them to such modern scholars as Seyyed Nasr, giving the necessary effectiveness to the truth of the philosophia perennis. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,658,917 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,675 in Religion & Philosophy (Books) #1,921 in Other Eastern Religions & Sacred Texts (Books) #2,884 in Prayer (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 21 Reviews | ## Images ![The Essential Frithjof Schuon (Library of Perennial Philosophy) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Dd49kDFTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Universal Wisdom- the Religion of the Sages *by O***N on March 19, 2006* _It is my belief that all serious students of the esoteric will eventually be drawn to the Philosophia Perennis.

He is also an impeccable analyst of philosophical thought and an erudite connoisseur of the great world religions. He is also a hell of a bore. These essays are among the most tedious writing I have ever come across in my whole, not inconsiderable, life in letters. *sigh* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/18001040-the-essential-frithjof-schuon-library-of-perennial-philosophy](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/18001040-the-essential-frithjof-schuon-library-of-perennial-philosophy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
