Frithjof Schuon fut un philosophe et métaphysicien reconnu comme une autorité en matière de religion et de spiritualité, et un éminent représentant de l'École Pérennialiste. Son œuvre se concentre sur le concept d'une religion éternelle (Religio Perennis), offrant une critique du relativisme académique moderne. Schuon a articulé une foi profonde en un principe absolu, Dieu, comme gouverneur de l'univers, soulignant le lien entre ce principe divin et l'humanité par la révélation. Bien que ses principales œuvres métaphysiques aient été composées en français, il s'est également consacré à la poésie en allemand.
