About This Item
Harper & Brothers Publishers. New York. 1945. THIRD EDITION, the same year as the first printing. 8vo. (8.1 x 5.1 inches). xi, 312pp, including index. A very good book in a fine attractive leather binding of full red Morocco. Spine with five raised bands. The compartments ruled, lettered and decorated in gilt. Gilt inner dentelles. Top edge gilt. Decorative patterned endpapers printed in green, black and red. A hint of rubbing to the extremities but overall a near fine copy. The binding is unsigned but is certainly the work of a master bookbinder.
Synopsis
The Perennial Philosophy is a 1945 book by Aldous Huxley, published by Chatto & Windus in the UK, and by Harper & Row in the US.
Reviews
One of those books you can't help but call "priceless." For anyone with even a mild interest in the source of religious or spiritual feeling and the common grounds of belief around the world, this is an indispensable survey of a human urge that springs from an early kind of consciousness that made no distinction between art, science, and religion.
