This issue of Sophia addresses the environmental crisis from two points of view: the first in the acceptance speech by HRH The Prince of Wales given when he received the 10th annual "Global Environmental Citizen Award," and the second in an article by internationally renowned author Seyyed Hossein Nasr on the contemporary Islamic world and the role it must play in the environmental crisis. Huston Smith, revered philosopher, lecturer, and author in the field of religion and mysticism, gives succinct answers to questions posed by Sophia on a wide range of topics including globalization, the environmental crisis, bioengineering, and the relation among religions. The roots of the Kabbalah are examined in two penetrating articles: "The Wisdom of Christian Kabbalah" by Wolfgang Smith and "The Question of Sufi Influence on Early Kabbalah" by Tom Block. Other articles include "Ananda Coomaraswamy Invites Shiva to Dance" by Dan Rudmann and "Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy" by Zachary Markwith in which he discusses the legacy of Frithjof Schuon and René Guénon in particular.
