Synopsis

This wide-ranging selection of writings by perennialist author William Stoddart exposes the false ideologies of postmodernism and calls for a return to traditional religion, especially in its mystical dimensions. In Part I, Forgetting , Stoddart uncovers the errors of contemporary ideologies such as progress and evolution, secularism and fundamentalism, relativism and humanism. In Part II, Remembering (theory) , he defines the essential doctrinal beliefs of traditional religion. Part III, Remembering (practice) , discusses the operative dimensions of spirituality and includes vivid personal accounts of visits to monasteries on Mt. Athos and an audience with the venerable Jagadguru of Kanchipuram, India.
