Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-16 00:00:00 Marco Hartog Schuon spreads himself too thin here. He just repeats himself, having already made his point many years earlier with better organised books (1948,1968 and 1970 especially). Quote from the introduction : "It will be noticed without difficulty that this new book has the same contexture as our previous works, that is to say, it consists of more or less independent articles from each other , and of unequal importance as it is indicated by the division into several parts of diverse contents" [“On remarquera sans peine que ce nouveau livre a la même contexture que nos précédents ouvrages, c'est-à-dire qu'il se compose d'essais plus ou moins indépendants les uns des autres, et d'importance inégale comme l'indique d'ailleurs la division en plusieurs partie à contenus très divers [...]”]

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-25 00:00:00 Michael Boudreaux Good general summary of esoterism. I particularly enjoyed the stuff on integral aesthetics and also the chapters 'hypostatic and cosmic numbers' and 'the virtues in the way'. Take-away quote is "We owe it to others to show them, as far as is possible, that we do not stop short at their earthly accidence, but that on the contrary we wish to take cognisance of their heavenly substance, and this excludes all triviality in social behaviour. Politeness is a distant manner of helping our neighbour to sanity himself, or to remember that, being made of sanctity as the image of God, he is thereby made for sanctity".
