The Supreme Vision of Western Esotericism
A brilliant and perceptive overview of the tradition of spiritual thought that is encompassed in Western esotericism
John Holman explains that the perennial philosophy – a universal set of truths and values common to all cultures and religions – can be found at the heart of all the great schools of thought and the writings of the greatest philosophers, no matter how apparently diverse their presentation of perceived truths. This accessible yet thought-provoking book helps us understand that the nature of reality and our potential for transcendence are at the core of all belief systems. Revolutionizing the debate on the perennial philosophy and elucidating a number of enigmatic esoteric topics, The Return of the Perennial Philosophy provides a crucial and rewarding spiritual context for modern times.
