Synopsis

Covering an area where philosophy, religion, and mysticism overlap, this book focuses on "perennial philosophy," the metaphysic that is found in many cultures, past and present, that recognizes an absolute reality behind the everyday material world. The contention is made that concepts such as absolute and God possess a certain logical shape that makes perfect sense of the paradoxes of mystical language. Emphasizing the importance of philosophy to everyday life, this book will appeal to the growing numbers of people seeking spiritual enlightenment without allegiance to particular dogmas or institutions.
