Title:

Manifold Unity by Collum – Wisdom of the East Series | John Murray 1940 First Edition | Harmony & Compassion Philosophy

Description:

This scarce first edition of Manifold Unity: The Ancient World’s Perception of the Divine Pattern of Harmony and Compassion by Collum was published by John Murray as part of the highly regarded Wisdom of the East Series. This 85-year-old philosophical work draws from ancient traditions across East and West to explore themes of divine unity, compassion, harmonic order, and sacred symbolism, particularly the lotus.

Published during a time of growing political division, this book serves as a call to spiritual and philosophical unity, using historical insights to critique modern authoritarianism and promote a transcendent worldview of interconnectedness and peace.

The volume contains 115 pages, measures 7 x 5 inches, and is bound in green cloth boards.

Condition:

This first edition still retains its original dust jacket, which shows edge wear and a tear along the spine. The green cloth boards underneath are in good condition. The binding is tight, and all pages are present, clean, and unmarked. A compelling and rare addition to any collection of comparative religion, metaphysics, or 20th-century philosophical literature.
