René Guénon
In his prolific metaphysical and spiritual writings, Guénon displayed extraordinary insight into the universality of the human experience. This book, arguably the most significant in a modern Western language concerning symbolism, deals with the metaphysical and cosmological meaning of symbols drawn from traditions as far apart as the Greek and the Buddhist, the Druid, and the Islamic. It is a major addition to the English corpus of Guenon’s work.
