His works provide invaluable keys to understanding the formal contradictions between the world's religions as well as their transcendent unity.

This revised edition of Schuon's writings on esoterism features a fully revised translation from the French original as well as over 60 pages of new material, including previously unpublished selections from the author's letters and other private writings, an editor's preface, editor's notes, a glossary of foreign terms and phrases, an index, and biographical notes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A wide-ranging compendium of philosophic and spiritual enlightenment."--William Stoddart, author of Remembering in a World of Forgetting<br><br>"As a point of entry to Schuon's teachings, I often recommend Esoterism as Principle and as Way, a book that proceeds directly into the heart of the universal and perennial message of this metaphysician."--James S.
