The Language and Style of Schuon’s Writings
These observations on the language and stle of Frithjof Schuon’s writing were excerpted from editor Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s “Introducing the Writings of Frithjof Schuon” (the ‘Introduction’) in The Essential Frithjof Schuon. In the piece, Dr. Nasr shares insights on some linguistic and literary aspects of Schuon’s writing, ending with how these aspects may contribute to the impact of Schuon’s prose upon many readers.
Schuon as Poet and Artist
Editor Seyyed Hossein Nasr discusses the artistic side of Frithjof Schuon’s body of work, namely his poetry and paintings, and the aesthetic sensibility reflected throughout Schuon’s writings. It should be noted that this was written some years before Schuon’s many volumes of later poetry was published. The piece was excerpted from Dr. Nasr’s “Introducing the Writings of Frithjof Schuon” (the ‘Introduction’) in The Essential Frithjof Schuon.
Perspectives
Whitall Perry recounts his own spiritual journey which brought him to meet the greatest thinkers of the Perennial Philosophy of the 20th century: Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, René Guénon, and Frithjof Schuon. Focusing on the later, Perry gives the reader a glimpse into the life of the remarkable writer, poet, and painter who, to many, represented in himself, and in his writings, the epitome of the traditional man.
