Sophia dedicates this issue to the life and work of the revered scholar and philosopher, Huston Smith, marking nine decades of his remarkable and fecund life. Smith himself has contributed a new article on Evolution. Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s article for the Beijing Forum, “Harmony of Heaven,” William Chittick’s article, “Navigating the Ocean of the Soul,” and M. Darrol Bryant’s article, “On Divine Self-Disclosure: Christianity amidst the World’s Religions” are dedicated to Huston Smith. A wide-ranging interview with Smith conducted recently by Terry Moore allows the reader to glimpse his views on topics such as the balance between religion and science. Insightful discussions of Smith’s life and the significance of his work are provided by Harry Oldmeadow, Phil Cousineau, and Zachary Markwith. The issue also includes a penetrating review essay by Peter Samsel on two recent publications dealing with the work and life of Frithjof Schuon as well as a review by Mohammad Faghfoory on the new book of interviews with Seyyed Hossein Nasr, In Search of the Sacred, that combines autobiography with the intellectual and spiritual trajectories of remarkable life.
