Description
Perennial Philosophy explores the timeless wisdom that underlies Western culture. Arthur Versluis distills his extensive scholarship into this concise volume, revealing perennial philosophy to be closer to our interests and experience than often thought.
This powerful and accessible study explains what perennial philosophy is and what it isn't, offering a new perspective on its meaning and significance. By going beyond the limited self, readers can experience their kinship with the greater world and the deepest levels of reality, leading to a transformation of the self and a realization of human nature.
For those interested in the roots of our philosophical tradition or what a living philosophy could look like today, this book is an indispensable guide. Its clarity makes it a pleasure to read, providing a return to the real philosophical quest that has been largely forgotten by the academic world.
