Итог:This paper examines the so far unrecognized correspondence between the classical philologist Werner Jaeger and the art historian and metaphysician Ananda Coomaraswamy, one of the main spokesmen of the sophia perennis in the Guénonian sense. I will delineate the relevance of the "intellectual constellation" Jaeger-Coomaraswamy - a "constellation" which is not of mere historical interest, but gives reason to discuss some fundamental questions concerning the deeper value of religious (and esoteric) studies in a humanist education worthy of this name. In fact, Coomaraswamy's criticism of Jaeger's perspective illustrates how the project of humanism is challenged or rather transformed through the disclosure of non-European religious and esoteric sources in the twentieth century.
L'articolo prende in esame la corrispondenza, finora sconosciuta, tra il filologo classico Werner Jaeger e lo storico dell'arte e metafisico Ananda Coomaraswamy, uno dei principali portavoce della sophia perennis in senso guénoniano. Metterò in risalto l'importanza della "costellazione intellettuale" Jaeger-Coomaraswamy, la quale non è di interesse solamente storico, in quanto fornisce l'opportunità di discutere alcune questioni fondamentali riguardanti il valore profondo degli studi religiosi (ed esoterici) all'interno di una formazione umanistica degna di tale nome. Infatti, la critica di Coomaraswamy alla prospettiva del filologo tedesco mostra come il progetto umanistico si trovi sotto attacco o addirittura trasformato dalla divulgazione di fonti religiose ed esoteriche non europee nel ventesimo secolo.
