Synopsis

The book ""Theosophy: An Introduction to the Supersensible Knowledge of the World and the Destination of Man"" by Rudolf Steiner is a comprehensive guide to the philosophical and spiritual system of Theosophy. Theosophy is a term that refers to the study of the divine wisdom and the laws that govern the universe. In this book, Steiner introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of Theosophy, including the nature of the universe, the evolution of humanity, and the spiritual destiny of human beings. He explains the concept of karma and reincarnation and how they relate to the evolution of the soul. Steiner also explores the role of spiritual beings, such as angels and demons, in the universe and in the lives of human beings. Throughout the book, Steiner emphasizes the importance of developing one's own spiritual awareness and inner wisdom. He provides practical exercises and meditations to help readers connect with their own spiritual nature and explore the deeper aspects of reality.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work, though now appearing for the first time in English dress, has not only passed into three editions in Germany, but has been translated into Russian, Swedish, Dutch, Czechish, and Italian, while a French translation is being prepared. It were perhaps well to mention that in this work the words "know" and "knowledge," when used in reference to the supersensible worlds, involve actual experience of them gained by man through his higher organs of perception. The names chosen by the author to describe the higher bodies of man, and other theosophic facts, have been, as far as possible, retained here. Readers will find that they revert with primitive strength to the ancient power of names, and are word pictures and also mnemonics of what they represent. They thus constitute distinct forces too valuable to be withheld from the English reading public.

Biographie de l'auteur

Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and esotericist. He was the founder of Anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophical medicine, and the new artistic form of Eurythmy. Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, where "Thinking... is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas.
