Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr is one of the most qualified people on earth to weigh the significance of particular books from Schuon's extensive opus. In this clip, Dr. Nasr highlights what he considers the four most important books of Frithjof Schuon (1907 - 1998).
Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr is a renowned philosopher, educator, scholar, author and editor, with a remarkable range of expertise in philosophy, metaphysics, art, comparative religion, esoterism, and Islamic Studies. Besides studying his works, Dr. Nasr was personally close to Schuon for many decades. He is the editor of the definitive compendium of Schuon's selected writings, “The Essential Frithjof Schuon” (World Wisdom, 2005). In that volume, Professor Nasr's introduction of 60 pages is an excellent introduction to Schuon and his body of work.
