Philosophia Perennis --
the phrase was coined by Leibniz; but the thing -- the metaphysic that recognizes a divine
Reality substantial to the world of things and lives and minds; the psychology that finds
in the soul something similar to, or even identical with, divine Reality; the ethic that
places man's final end in the knowledge of the immanent and transcendent Ground of all
being -- the thing is immemorial and universal. Rudiments of the Perennial
Philosophy may be found among the traditionary lore of primitive peoples in every region
of the world, and in its fully developed forms it has a place in every one of the higher
religions.
Aldous Huxley, The
Perennial Philosophy
"There is only one religion, though there are a
hundred versions of it."
George Bernard Shaw
This site is dedicated to the perspective described by Aldous Huxley in
his book The
Perennial Philosophy. I hope it will serve as a meeting place for all those
who sense that, beneath and beyond the diversity of religious forms, there must be Truth,
and that since Truth cannot contradict itself, it is always the same Truth.
