Knowledge And The Sacred by Seyyed Hossein Nasr
A sustained defense of a traditional view of knowledge that contrasts modern secular, specialized, and empirical approaches with a richer, sacred dimension rooted in metaphysical principles and spiritual tradition; the author argues that true knowledge participates in a hierarchy of being, is expressed through symbolism and initiation, and integrates intellectual, moral, and cosmic order, so that reclaiming this perennial wisdom is essential to remedying the spiritual, cultural, and ecological disorientation produced by secularization and reductive scientism.
