A great work of scholarship,

This review is from: Traditionalism: Religion in the Light of the Perennial Philosophy (Hardcover)
Kenneth Oldmeadow's book is a very readable and well researched survey of the Traditionalist school. The positions of its three main luminaries, Guénon, Coomarswamy and Schuon, are explored in the chapters devoted to each one of these thinkers, and some interesting biographical information is also provided. There is also a survey of some of the other traditionalists, as well as assessments, in the light of traditionalist thought, of some of the various characters and religious movements which have impacted on the modern sense of the sacred. Oldmeadow also pays close attention to the traditionalist critique of modern science. This book is an important intellectual history of a movement that has been unduly neglected by the academic world.

This is a must for anyone interested in Traditionalism. The author presents the major exponents and explains their positions clearly. It is well researched and beautifully written.
