Very Good

This early Philosophical Research Society publication explores the figure of the adept within Eastern esoteric traditions, with a particular focus on Chinese sages and initiatory philosophy. Hall examines the symbolic, moral, and spiritual role of the adept as a transmitter of hidden wisdom, drawing on Taoist, Confucian, and broader Eastern metaphysical sources. Written in Hall’s accessible but authoritative style, the work bridges comparative mysticism and esoteric philosophy, offering insight into how Eastern traditions understood spiritual attainment, discipline, and illumination.

Yellow soft covers with green lettering. Staple bound. Illustrated throughout.

It is in Very Good condition. The main flaw is heavy wear to the spine, with small holes that appear consistent with possible worming; however, there is no evidence of worming to the interior. The covers show general handling wear. The interior pages remain very clean and free of blemishes. Very Good. Item #98
