The Richest,
Most Accessible Study of Huxley's Perennial Philosophy
Many Huxley biographers fall in love with his
intellect but are not equipped to deal with the spiritual
turn his mind took during the last several decades of his life. In
fact, many biographers are hostile to Huxley's choice and simply ignore it. Dana Sawyer's biography respects Huxley's right to
go where his powerful mind led him, and Sawyer is at home with the
nuances of the spiritual realm. Finally! A Huxley biography that does it
justice
"Masterful...
Dana Sawyer has produced an important study in the intellectual
history of our times."

Smith, Author of The World's Religions

Sawyer's biography of Aldous. It is authentic, clearly written,
and fascinating. I couldn't stop reading it."

| "A perceptive discussion of the intellectual milieu into
which Huxley was born and in which he matured... Compellingly,
with his expert knowledge of Asian philosophies, Sawyer maps out
the different strands of mystical thought (Western, Vedantic,
Hindu, Buddhist) that came to form Huxley's 'perennial
philosophy,' a framework wide enough to accommodate the findings
of modern science as well as the possibilities of
self-transcendence culminating in the awareness of being at one
with 'ultimate reality'... The best-to-date explanation and
appraisal of Huxley's metaphysical position."
