P erspectives on E soteric E cumenism
A New Translation with Selected Letters
“Schuon’s thought does not demand that we agree or disagree,
but that we understand or do not understand. Such writing is of
rare and lasting value.”
Times Literary Supplement
“I have met with no more impressive work in the comparative study of Oriental and
Occidental religion.”
T. S . E l i o t , Nobel laureate for literature, on Schuon’s fi rst book, e Transcendent
Unity of Religions
“[Schuon is] the most important religious thinker of our century.”
Huston Smith , author of e World’s Religions and e Soul of Christianity
“In reading Schuon I have the impression that I am going along parallel to him, and
once in a while I will get a glimpse of what he means in terms of my own tradition and
experience.… I think that he has exactly the right view.… I appreciate him more and
more.… I am grateful for the chance to be in contact with people like him.”
omas Merton (from a letter to Marco Pallis)
“[Schuon is] the leading philosopher of Islamic theosophical mysticism.”
Annemarie Schimmel , Harvard University
“[ is] collection has some essays that will interest students engaged in the comparative
study of … Islam and Christianity. More signifi cantly, it succeeds in achieving an
appropriate juxtaposition of the thought of two important theological representatives:
Luther and al-Ashari, and … is an important contribution in comparative religion.”
Journal of the American Academy of Religion
