William Stoddart

William Smith Stoddart (25 June 1925 – 9 November 2023) was a Scottish-Canadian physician, author and spiritual traveller, who wrote several books on the Perennial Philosophy and on comparative religion.

William Smith Stoddart was born in Carstairs, Scotland on 25 June 1925. He graduated in medicine from Glasgow University.

Stoddart has been called a "master of synthesis" and was one of the important Perennialist writers. For many years he was assistant editor of the British journal Studies in Comparative Religion. He has translated into English, from the original French or German, several books of the perennialists Frithjof Schuon (1907–1998) and Titus Burckhardt (1908–1984).

Stoddart lived most of his life in London, England, before moving, in 1982, to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He died in Windsor on 9 November 2023, at the age of 98.
