The company publishes The Library of Perennial Philosophy, which focuses on the beliefs underlying the diverse religions, also referred to as Sophia Perennis or "Perennial Philosophy". World Wisdom’s Library of Perennial Philosophy encompasses seven series.
A school of thought begun in the twentieth century, it focuses on spiritual practices and beliefs found in all religions.
Sacred Worlds
This series combines images from throughout the world with comparative selections of texts from the world religions. The books may focus on particular religions or upon common themes within several religions.
Sacred Art in Tradition
This series focuses on the principle of the role of beauty in the Perennial Philosophy. The books contain reproductions of traditional art (such as paintings, sculptures, architectures, and vestimentary art), and contrasting writings by religious authorities on the particular subject.
Spiritual Classics
This series focuses on reproducing “classic” religious works from around the world that have been lost or forgotten. The books include modern introductions which place the works within the framework of the Perennial Philosophy.
Spiritual Masters—East & West
This series presents the writings of spiritual authorities from throughout the world. These writings are combined with modern tools as well, including biographical information and a glossary of terms, as well as historical maps, and pictorial and photographic art.
Treasures of the World's Religions
This series is an anthology of scriptures and writings of spiritual authorities of the past on fundamental themes of religion. Some books focus on a single spiritual tradition, while others have a unifying topic that touches upon traditions from around the world.
Writings of Frithjof Schuon
The writings of Frithjof Schuon form the foundation of the World Wisdom library because he is the pre-eminent exponent of the Perennial Philosophy.
