Frithjof Schuon and Our Times
Swedish philosopher Tage Lindbom surveys some central concepts of the thought of Frithjof Schuon regarding: the modern world, ontology, the “pure Absolute” and the “relative Absolute,” secular man’s illusory view of existence, the “hierarchical order of creation,” the Sovereign Good, and man’s place in the universe. Lindbom states, “The unique position of Frithjof Schuon’s message is especially characterized by the fact that he provides an answer to the spiritual misery of our times,” and “Looking back in time, we like to pause before historical figures who have produced a legacy of spiritual work that is characterized by timelessness, the Eternal. We pause before three names: Plato, Shankara, Frithjof Schuon.”

The late Christian traditionalist, Alvin Moore, Jr., highlights the remarkable character of Schuon’s writings in general, noting, in Christian terms, that Schuon “wrote with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.” Moore finds that “there is much in this volume that sheds precious light on Christianity,” despite the non-sectarian approach always adopted by Schuon. The reviewer goes into some detail on Schuon’s teachings on non-dualism, particularly how these relate to Christian doctrine.
