Theosophy & Modern Esotericism
The Perennial Philosophy
Aldous Huxley's 1945 anthology and commentary presents the idea that the world's mystical traditions share a common core of insight into the nature of reality. Drawing on sources from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, Huxley discusses themes such as the divine ground, contemplation and self-transcendence. It is an influential work in the comparative study of mysticism.
