World Wisdom
The Library of Perennial Philosophy
      The  Library  of  Perennial  Philosophy  is  dedicated  to  the  exposition  of  the 
timeless Truth  underlying  the  diverse  religions. This Truth,  often  referred  to  as 
the  Sophia Perennis —or  Perennial  Wisdom—finds  its  expression  in  the  revealed 
Scriptures as well as in the writings of the great sages and the artistic creations of 
the traditional worlds.
      The  Perennial  Philosophy  provides  the  intellectual  principles  capable  of 
explaining both the formal contradictions and the transcendent unity of the great 
religions.
      Ranging  from  the  writings  of  the  great  sages  of  the  past  to  the  perennialist 
authors of our  time, each series of our Library has a different  focus. As a whole, 
they express the inner unanimity, transforming radiance, and irreplaceable values 
of the great spiritual traditions. 
      Light on the Ancient Worlds   appears  as one of our  selections  in  the Writings of 
Frithjof Schuon series.

The Writings of Frithjof Schuon
      The Writings of Frithjof Schuon  form  the  foundation of our  library 
because he is the pre-eminent exponent of the Perennial Philosophy. His 
work illuminates this perspective in both an essential and comprehensive 
manner like none other.
