The Conquest of Illusion - Hardcover

by J. J. Van Der Leeuw (Author)

The Conquest of Illusion is a philosophical work by J.J. van der Leeuw that explores the nature of reality and the human experience. The book delves into the idea that our perception of the world is often clouded by illusions and that true understanding can only come through a process of spiritual awakening. Van der Leeuw draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity, to argue that the ultimate goal of human existence is to transcend the limitations of the physical world and achieve a state of enlightenment. The Conquest of Illusion is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to question their assumptions about reality and the nature of existence.1928.
