FILM CLIPS

A new, free, online video on
the origins of the Perennial Philosophy

Origins of the Perennialist School is a free, online, 49-minute documentary from World Wisdom. It is an overview of the school of thought called the Perennialist School. The video summarizes how the Perennial Philosophy developed as a school of thought, and the ideas and people that have been central in its development. It also includes clips of such central figures as Frithjof Schuon, Martin Lings, and Seyyed Hossein Nasr.

The video is divided into these sections: Origins of the Perennialist School; Tradition and the Perennial Philosophy; The Perennialist School of Thought; The Founders; Other Perennialist Authors; The Perennial Philosophy in Modern Academia; and the final section, which includes a symbolical demonstration of how the diverse religious traditions are connected to the one Truth, and thus to each other, as well as a summation of the theme of the video.

The video was written and directed by Jennifer Casey. Origins of the Perennialist School can be viewed here (on the World Wisdom Perennial Philosophy Resource Page), or on YouTube.
