"…recommended to scholars of esotericism." — Religious Studies
Review
"…a major achievement, succinctly synthesizing Schuon's work into
one volume." — Nova Religio
"Keys to the Beyond provides an unmatched academic analysis of the
work of Frithjof Schuon, who in large part remains misunderstood.
This is an important work for those who seek a deeper understanding
of this complex thinker. This penetrating analysis articulates how
religions are necessary forms that correspond to the diverse human
beings and collectivities the world over." — Journal of Comparative
Literature and Aesthetics
"This book provides unparalleled academic analysis of a complex
thinker, whose work remains misunderstood by many. It stands out
from other discussions of Schuon's work in that it offers an
in-depth examination of the manner in which Schuon incorporates
aspects of various religious traditions into a unique philosophy of
religion. For the growing body of academics who seek a deeper
understanding of Schuon, this will be an essential work." — Joseph
E. B. Lumbard, author of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī, Remembrance, and the
Metaphysics of Love
