In The Return of The Perennial Philosophy, author John Holman examines the universal truths inherent in all cultures and religions in a powerful scholarly analysis of Western esotericism’s deepest teachings. His book contends that the perennial philosophy is not only at the heart of all world religions, but also of all major schools of thought and writings by the great thinkers and philosophers.

“In a way that comes close to being magisterial, John Holman weaves the esoteric strands of Western civilization into a tapestry that ‘for those who have eyes to see,’ is truly beautiful.”
