The perennial philosophy

Book • 1945
The Perennial Philosophy, by Aldous Huxley, is a seminal work exploring the common ground between various mystical and religious traditions.

Huxley argues for the existence of a universal mystical experience that transcends cultural and religious differences.

The book draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient scriptures, philosophical texts, and mystical writings.

It explores themes of unity, consciousness, and the nature of reality.

Huxley's insightful analysis and eloquent prose have made this book a classic in the field of comparative religion and philosophy.
