The Great Triad

Published: 1946

The Great Triad is an in-depth exploration of the Far-Eastern concept of the Triad, a fundamental principle in Eastern philosophy and spirituality. Written by René Guénon, the book delves into the metaphysical significance of the Triad, which consists of three interrelated principles: Heaven, Earth, and Man . Guénon examines how these principles interact to create and sustain the universe, and how they relate to human existence and spiritual development. The book also addresses common misconceptions and erroneous interpretations of the Triad, particularly in relation to Western religious concepts such as the Christian Trinity. Through a detailed analysis, Guénon aims to provide a clearer understanding of the Triad's role in traditional Eastern thought and its implications for metaphysics and spirituality.
