Philosophy

“For readers disenchanted with the zeitgeist, this treatise comes as a breath of fresh air. We are delivered from its grip by what may indeed be the only effective means: a living encounter, namely, with the perennial wisdom of mankind. Clearly a connoisseur of the sapiential traditions, De Beer moves easily from Plato and Plotinus to the Vedanta and the sages of Christianity, to restore for us the dimension of verticality, obscured since the Enlightenment.”
