Play of Masks by Frithjof Schuon

Play of Masks by Frithjof Schuon

Schuon's point of departure - far from being his own personal message - is the Vedantic discernment between the real and the illusory, then concentration upon the real. This collection of essays provides an unusually rich description of what constitutes the prerogatives and fulfilment of the human state. Schuon is indispensable in providing the conceptual framework for the reader who is seeking a perspective that is rooted in tradition, integrally human and above the impasses of confessional theologies.

Frithjof Schuon wrote more than two dozen books on metaphysical, spiritual, artistic, and ethnic themes and was a regular contributor to journals on comparative religion in both Europe and America. He is best known as the foremost spokesman of the Perennial Philosophy and his writings have been consistently featured and reviewed in a wide range of scholarly and philosophical publications around the world, respected by both scholars and spiritual authorities. He was born in 1907 in Basle, Switzerland and died in the US in 1998. Harry Oldmeadow was Coordinator of Philosophy and Religious Studies at La Trobe University Bendigo, Australia, until his recent retirement. An acknowledged authority on the Perennialist school in general and Frithjof Schuon in particular, his articles have featured extensively in journals on comparative religion in America and Europe. He is the author of numerous works, including Traditionalism: Religion in the Light of the Perennial Philosophy (winner of the University of Sydney Medal for excellence in research), and Frithjof Schuon and the Perennial Philosophy. He lives in Australia.
