"[Schuon is] the most important religious thinker of our century." -- Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions "This synthesis of the whole metaphysical message of Schuon, summarizes in three sections his teachings concerning epistemology, metaphysics, and the science of man... The second section present[s] the most succinct and complete study he has ever made on the nature of the Divine Principle." -- Seyyed Hossein Nasr, The George Washington University, author of The Heart of Islam: Enduring Values for Humanity "This luminous survey ... cannot but dissipate the difficulties and troubles that modern mankind often encounters when confronted with the necessary, but sometimes disappointing, exclusivism of revealed religions and the 'human margin' that at times obscures them." -- Patrick Laude, Georgetown University, author of Pathways to An Inner Islam
