What others have said about Frithjof Schuon

"M. Schuon’s thought does not demand that we agree or disagree but that we understand or do not understand. Such writing is of rare and lasting value.”
—Times Literary Supplement, on Schuon’s Stations of Wisdom

“Readers … will certainly find in the writings of Schuon … completely new perspectives in every aspect of religious thought—on the meaning of symbolism, for example, or the idea of sin, or the warfare between scientism and religion, or the idea of esotericism, and much, much else. Very probably, it will seem to the reader that until now he has ignored an entire dimension in his thinking …”
—Jacob Needleman, San Francisco State University

“It is a very good thing to see a book with Mr. Schuon’s writings about the American Indians. His words are important because he sees the Indian traditional religion with the eyes of a man who prays and who loves the Indians. He has studied all the religions in the world so he can compare our Indian ways to the ways of other religions.”
—Thomas Yellowtail, Crow Sun Dance Chief, on Schuon’s The Feathered Sun
