	Frithjof Schuon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schuon was born in 1907 in Basle, Switzerland, of German parents.
		According to Schuon, this “quintessential esoterism” and the Religio Perennis itself are personified by the Virgin Mary.
		Schuon himself considered that his teachings, although located in the frame of Islam and Sufism, were in a certain sense at the confluent of the great religious traditions of the world (Islam, Christianity, Hinduism primarily but also Mahayana Buddhism, Neoplatonism and the Native American Traditions).

	Frithjof SCHUON (Spiritus Mundi - Esoterism)
		Schuon is known as a philosopher in the literal sense of the word, a "lover of wisdom." It is a wisdom that is inseparable from a sense of the sacred, which is the unique prerogative of humankind.
		Schuon is known for his ability of going to the heart of a subject, and these epigrammatic passages are akin to Platonic recollections in their power to rekindle our awareness of the quintessential values that constitute the soul’s certitude, serenity and happiness.
		Frithjof Schuon is not a painter who is interested in metaphysics; he is a metaphysician who from time to time produces a painting.

	Frithjof Schuon and René Guénon - Martin Lings - Athenaeum Library of Philosophy
		It is in a sense doubly fascinating, because of the infectious quality of Schuon's own fascination, fascinated as he was by the differences and the relationships between the castes and by the wealth of variety to be seen in the races.
		Schuon once said to me: "On symbolism Guénon is unbeatable." In actual fact we always spoke French together, and when he said: "Sur le symbolisme Guénon est imbattable," he banged his fist on the table three times, once for each syllable of "imbattable".
		But Schuon dwells on this dimension in his own unmoralistic way, with considerable stress on the importance of outward beauty, whether it be of nature or of art, as a prolongation of the inward beauty of virtue.

	books about: schuon (traditionalism understanding christianity) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Schuon is often a wonderfully complex author, and much is translated from French or German.
		Schuon often expressed a deep appreciation for Advaita-Vedanta and characterized his perspective as that of the Sanatana Dharma, the "eternal religion." The articles here all have a connection with Hinduism, but they are not concerned with the historical unfolding of this universe.
		Along with Ananda K. Coomaraswamy and Frithjof Schuon, he reintroduced traditional metaphysics and esoterism into the Western world after a lapse of centuries, and was perhaps the first to present the doctrines of the Vedanta, Taoism, and Sufism not as Eurocentric orientalists or occult fantasts had done, but strictly in their own terms.

	Frithjof Schuon

		During the 1950’s, the Schuons had contact with North American natives who visited Paris and Brussels, and they traveled to the Lakota tribe of the Sioux nation in 1959, where they were officially adopted into the Red Cloud family.
		Schuon said that his role was to bring back the concept of the Absolute in a world become relativized.

	GnosticBooks.Com East Meets West
		Because these truths are permanent and universal, the point of view may thus be called "Perennialist." Frithjof Schuon is by far the pre-eminent spokesman and exponent of the "Perennialist Perspective," having written more than twenty books on this subject; these books as a whole can be said to contain the Perennialist Philosophy.
		Schuon's outlook is very much that of the Sanâtana Dharma, and his message has three main dimensions: comprehension, concentration, conformation.
		"Schuon's Survey of Metaphysics and Esoterism is a wonderfully lucid and compact presentation of the core of Perennial Philosophy."--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

	Form and Substance in the Religions (The Writings of Frithjof Schuon) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		As in most of Schuon's books, the author discusses at length the divergences between the various "skillful means" by which heaven has lured souls, while clarifying what pertains only to the "form" (or shell) of a religion and what pertains to its "substance" (kernel).
		This is what Schuon termed the "Transcendent Unity of Religions", which was also the title of his first book; the different religions, then, are analagous to so many paths to the summit of a mountain.
		In Form and Substance of the Religions, Frithjof Schuon speaks as one who is already at the summit, peering downwards and illuminating the way for those trying to climb towards their eternal Source in the darkness of the modern world.

	Amazon.com: Understanding Islam: Books: Frithjof Schuon,Annemarie Schimmel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In this respect, the "genial" insights of Schuon concerning the inner treasuries of Christianity (especially in the 4th chapter) should be emphasized.
		Schuon was an intellectual and a spiritual genius, and in this book this genius is shown simultaneously in his visions of Islam, of Christianity, and of Religion as such.
		The downside to schuon is that his work is too involved at the level of the intellect(even though he refers to it as the divine intellect) and can consume you in a world of concepts...at a certain point one will have to abandon such a mentally overwhelming approach and adopt simplicity.

		A friend and legal representative of the celebrated metaphysician, the late Frithjof Schuon, responds to Patrick Ringgenberg's criticisms of Schuon in Sacred Web 7, arguing that there is no inconsistency between Schuon's personality and his message.
		Catherine Schuon, wife of the late Frithjof Schuon, provides some recollections of her 50 years with the Shaykh.
		Her intimate reminiscences of this teacher, who taught and demonstrated the "greatness" which "is the necessary condition for the return to God," indirectly responds to his critics by a portrayal that both humanizes and ennobles its subject.

	Amazon.com: Treasures of Buddhism: Books: Frithjof Schuon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Schuon is well respected as an authority on comparative religion and as a spokesperson for the philosophia perrenis, a point of view that attempts to illuminate a metaphysical truth underlying all religions.
		Far from being simply a "philosophy" or a kind of subtle Atheism, Buddhism, in Schuon's view, is an initiatory method (rather than a metaphysical doctrine), based on a non-anthropomorphic perspective on the Absolute, considered less as a metaphysical Principle than as a State (Nirvana).
		Schuon's opening thesis - that Buddhism is a message built around renunciation and mercy - is at odds with what it has always meant to me. True, mercy is a part of the Buddhist message, but only in a derivative way.

	FRITHJOF SCHUON, Messenger of the Perennial Philosophy
		"As an authentic metaphysical summa and a masterpiece of balance and subtle nuances, Frithjof Schuon's written opus is the very expression of his powerful didactic genius.
		Through its objectivity and its rigor, it is an answer to the questions raised by contemporary man who finds himself disarmed in the face of the overwhelming certainties of modern science and the climate of nihilism that surrounds him.
		However, Schuon is not a bookish metaphysician, like so many others, but he is first of all an inspired man of prayer, a true sage, and (...) a 'born gnostic' who tends to fully 'incarnate his archetype' by actualizing all his inner riches."

		Schuon's artistic expression is taken for the most part from the fascinating world of Red Indian beauty, heroism & mysticism.
		But he has also chosen as subject that sacred femininity which has its roots in metaphysics & cosmology, among which are a number of pictures of the Virgin Mother, not in the style of Christian icons but in the form of the Biblical Shulamite or the Hindu Shakti.
		In his paintings, Schuon's intention is the expression of inward truths & the presence of the sacred in every beauty.

		Schuon states that the artist brings the Divine into the world, the mystic reintegrates the world- his soul- into the Divine.
		In this volume the author shows that he is both artist and mystic, as well as, Philosopher in the highest sense of those terms.
		As always, Schuon distinguishes himself in being one of the few modern-day spiritual authorities to insist upon the necessity of virtue for any valid path to God, and his understanding of the principles of spiritual realization is unequalled.

		Schuon n'a cependant pas été un métaphysicien livresque, comme tant d'autres, mais avant tout un homme de prière inspiré, un vrai sage, et pour reprendre l'expression dont il usa à l'égard de René Guénon, un "gnostique-né" qui tendra à pleinement "incarner son archétype" en actualisant toute sa richesse intérieure."
