The Conquest of Illusion is a philosophical treatise by J.J. van der Leeuw, first published in 1928. The book explores the nature of reality and the illusionary nature of the world as we perceive it. Van der Leeuw argues that the human mind is limited by its own perceptions and that we are unable to fully comprehend the true nature of reality. He explores the concept of consciousness and how it shapes our perception of the world around us. The book delves into various philosophical and spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity, to examine how these traditions have attempted to overcome the illusions of the world. Van der Leeuw argues that the conquest of illusion is a necessary step in the spiritual evolution of humanity, and that it is only through transcending our limited perceptions that we can truly understand the nature of reality. The Conquest of Illusion is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to question their own perceptions and beliefs about the world.1928.
