5.0 out of 5 stars peace through understanding, February 28, 2002
By A Customer
This book clearly demonstrates the unity of all religions, although being different in their forms, from a metaphysical point of view.As such it helps to understand all religions, and their extrinsic orthodoxy, putting an end to the quarrels among some exponents of these religions, who feel to prove the validity of their religion, they must disprove the other religions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritually and intellectually one of the best works ever., January 10, 1999
By A Customer
Frithjof Schuon is an author whose knowledge comes from deepest intellectual and spiritual realization, thus he writes with authority on the subject in a style unmatched in recent times. A summit of spiritual and intellectual realization who should be read by anybody who searches for truth. His beautiful style seizes the reader from the beginning with the feeling that Schuon is no ordinary thinker and this feeling becomes deeper as one continues reading. His other works are recommended as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book forever, March 22, 2005
This book is just fundamental. It is the kind of work which lasts forever, because what it teaches us is something which does not change with time. The reader who usually reads modern philosophy or scholarly works on religions will enter a different world when he takes the decisive step of reading Schuon.
