This new edition of Frithjof Schuon's Spiritual Perspectives and Human Facts is a fully revised translation of the French edition, and has an extensive Appendix containing previously unpublished letters and other private writings.

This introduction to the writings of Frithjof Schuon (1907-1998), the pre-eminent spokesman of the Perennialist or Traditionalist school of comparative religious thought, is the first book to present a comprehensive study of his intellectual and spiritual message. In addition to a clear explanation of Schuon's message of metaphysics and the great religions, Oldmeadow includes an overview of Schuon's paintings and poetry, and insights on prayer and virtue in the spiritual life.

This revised collection of brief and inspiring passages on the spiritual life was selected from Schuon's unpublished letters and papers as well as from his books. They discuss our relationship with God, the importance of prayer, the meaning of virtue, the significance of beauty in our lives as well as other spiritual themes. This edition has been re-translated and expanded to include 19 additional pages of moving excerpts.
