Summary:

People today are searching for a worldview that is holistic and reintegrating. Schuon offers it with a wide range of topics from the deviations of modern philosophical thought to making one's daily work a support for spiritual life. he argues convincingly that to be human means to be suspended between animality and divinity, whereas modern thought -- whether philosophical or scientific -- admits only of animality. Schuon has included a collection of very brief and simple writings on the life of prayer, useful to anyone seeking to center daily life in the spiritual.
