The Eye of the Heart

”[In The Eye of the Heart] Schuon has elucidated some of the most complex metaphysical and cosmological questions as well as elements of the practical aspect of the realization of knowledge.“–Seyyed Hossein Nasr, author of Knowledge and the Sacred and The Heart of Islam“I consider [Schuon] to be the most important religious thinker of our century.”–Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions and Why Religion Matters“The Eye of the Heart is one of the author’s earliest books; the metaphysical wisdom which he so clearly articulates in this work remained the touchstone of his whole corpus.”–Harry Oldmeadow, author of Frithjof Schuon and the Perennial Philosophy
