In Search of the Sacred, as the subtitle indicates, lets readers in on a wideranging
conversation between Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the world’s
most prolific Muslim intellectuals, and his cousin, Ramin Jahanbegloo,
about Nasr’s life and thought. Terry Moore provides a fine, admirably concise
introduction, which, like many introductions to Nasr’s thought, occasionally
borders on the hagiographic.

of particular interest to students of Islam, comparative religion, religious
studies, philosophy of religion, political philosophy and theory, and traditional
studies. Those who are familiar with Nasr’s work, meanwhile, may
not learn much that is new here, although they may gain a different perspective
or new insights on certain aspects of Nasr’s thought. At times, it
feels as though you are sitting in the same room as Nasr and Jahanbegloo,
which is certainly a treat ...
