Focus Uncompromised

Schuon is a thinker's writer and a mystic's voice. He will not be popular. (This is not a pessimistic evaluation; it is realistic.) This book is his greatest, in the sense of being systematic instead of, maybe, aphoristic, epigrammatic, essayistic. I cannot resist sharing a couple of my favorite sentences with you from this title: "People claim there is no truth, and they assert this as true; they say that man can know nothing, but this is something they think they know; they claim that "life" takes precedence over thought, and yet this is something they think! People are so stupid they do not notice these contradictions." -- Well there goes the entire deconstrucuralist fashion in contemporary philosophy. And yet in the 1930's it was A.N.Whitehead who observed that there is little more amusing than to see behavioral psychologists go to their labs each morning to try again to prove that there is no purpose in behavior, that teleological causes are not real in our universe. And compare Ken Wilber nowadays. All these thinkers are expressing what is called the Perennial Philosophy (a term controversially coined by the enlightenment philosopher, G.W.Leibniz). This fine volume of Frithjof Schuon extends the dialogue into Eastern esotericism and the relationships of these trends and factors with Western materialistic pragmatism. This book is serious, elegant, beautiful, and very important.

This book systematically slays

He takes out like 20 different philosophers in this book, and grand stands the spiritual point of view. Well, its a tour de force, and a good primer on logic in a thoroughly diluted materialist relativist climate. Godspeed, my man Frithjov!
