This is an AUDIO DVD of sixteen lectures by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, representing some of the major themes of his life's work. The 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.

Admirers of Wolfgang Smith's previous works will welcome this new volume, which is an anthology of articles (plus a new essay) that together constitute nothing less than an ontology. New readers will find a world opening around them that is as ancient as Aristotelian metaphysics and as new as quantum mechanics: a world that not only raises the mind to God, but that actually reveals Him--a world that is theophanic.

This film is the last surviving footage of the renowned Dr. Martin Lings. Ira B. Zinman, the producer and director, interviews Dr. Lings about his lifelong devotion to the works of William Shakespeare. Lings demonstrates that many themes in Shakespeare's works cannot be correctly understood without reference to the esoteric meaning contained in them, and shows how the true function of art is not merely to educate but to give us a "taste of wisdom, each to his own capacity."
