5.0 out of 5 stars A book which is sensible, wise and subtle, 20 May 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Knowing How to Know: A Practical Philosophy in the Sufi Tradition (Hardcover)

This book combines anecdotes, stories, surmises, sketches and ideas to build up an impact of considerable strength. The book is about learning how to begin learning. It is one which cuts through the pretensions and gloss of modern life and academic traditions to aim straight to the heart of a matter. There is much that we can learn about society and ourselves from this book.
