Knowledge and the Sacred

Nasr, Seyyed Hossein1989

A remarkably comprehensive exposition and analysis of humanity’s pursuit of knowledge, from the sophia perennis viewpoint, which  proposes that in every culture throughout human history humanity’s quest for knowledge has been a sacred activity as men and women seek to discover the Divine. Drawing from many traditions including Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, and Zoroastrianism, the author explores humanity’s quest for knowledge and quest for the Divine and how these quests relate to one another throughout the world.
