WORLD WISDOM THE LIBRARY OF PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY The Library of Perennial Philosophy is dedicated to the exposition of the timeless Truth underlying the diverse religions. This Truth, often referred to as the Sophia Perennis—or perennial Wisdom—finds its expres¬ sion in the revealed Scriptures as well as the writings of the great sages and the artisdc creations of the traditional worlds. The Perennial Philosophy—and its fundamental idea of the Religion of the Heart—provides the intellectual principles capable of explaining both the formal contradicdons and the underlying unity of the great religions. Ranging from the writings of the great sages who have expressed the Sophia Perennis in the past, to the perennialist authors of our time, each series of our Library has a different focus. As a whole, they express the inner unanimity, transforming radiance, and irreplaceable values of the great spiritual traditions. Light on the Indian World: the Essential Writings of Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa) appears in our Spiritual Classics series. Spiritual Classics Series

This series includes seminal, but often neglected, works of unique spir¬ itual insight from leading religious authors of both the East and West. Ranging from books composed in ancient India to forgotten jewels of our time, these important classics feature new introductions which place them in the perennialist context.
