Summary: Title: The End of One Search
Comment: I sought Frithjof Schuon because I had heard he produced some of the most severe and serious religious writing of the twentieth-century. This is true; he has no equal (in the twentieth-century). However - Even though my seriousness and sensibilites found kinship with his thoughts, after time, they burned me out. For me, in America, I could not adapt to a standard of living that brought me as close to God, or an Absolute, as I felt I should have been; I have since gone on to other things. On another hand, he feeds my intellect in ways that are unexplainable, and for that, I am grateful. Anyone, of any religion, can work to understand this book.

Summary: Perhaps the Most Intriguing Religious Writer of the 20th C.
Comment: The book is a good introduction to Schuon, providing a fairly detailed overview of the Swiss thinker's central ideas. Nasr, through his introduction, paves the way for the reader to better understand Schuon's extremely dense yet rich style. This is a great help on Nasr's part, since Schuon's unique style renders his writings difficult to break into. But once this apparent impenetrability is overcome, the reader will be dumbfounded by the depth and profundidty of Schuon's brilliant insights. Like any great thinker, this man has his deficencies, and sometimes they are blaring. But who said profundidity must be accompanied by infalibility?
