Seyyed Hossein Nasr - 16 lectures

These lectures have been chosen to give the listener a sample of both the general themes of the thought of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, such as modernity's loss of the sacred, and his scholarship on particular subjects, such as the meaning of Islamic art. For this reason, the collection will be of interest both to audiences who are already well acquainted with his thought, and to those who are discovering him for the first time. Nasr is a widely popular lecturer because of his lively speaking style. He never reads from a prepared text, but speaks directly to the audience with a rare combination of passion and logical coherence. Equally rare is his universal voice: although he is a Muslim, his knowledge of and respect for other religions allow him to speak to many audiences from within their own traditions. Although these lectures cover a wide variety of topics, from interreligious dialogue to the environmental crisis, together they form a underlying unity that is nothing less than a cosmology, which both transcends the transient constructs of particular times and cultures and brings them into sharp focus. Sixteen lectures by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, representing some of the major themes of his life's work, including the spirituality of Islam and Sufism; interreligious dialogue; pure metaphysics; tradition, nature, science and the sacred; and sacred art and music. Finally, there is a rare autobiographical talk that ties all these themes together in the context of one man's quest for the sacred. The following is a list of the included lectures. 1. In the Beginning Was Consciousness 2. The Reality to Serve, Love and Know 3. Religious and Theological Consequences of Crossing Religious Frontiers 4. Whence Evil?
