About This Item
Trade Paperback. Publisher: Ibis | | Trade Paperback | 208 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: By the time of his death in 1875, Eliphas Levi was recognized in both Europe and America as the greatest occultist of the 19th century. In life, his work was the inspiration for Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma, the most influential American Masonic book of its day, and in death, it proved to be a seminal influence on figures as diverse as Madame Blavatsky, A.E. Waite, and Aleister Crowley but during his lifetime none of his writings appeared in English.The Paradoxes of the Highest Science first appeared in 1883 in Calcutta as a pamphlet in the Theosophical Miscellanies series. In it, Levi makes an appeal for a balance between science and religion by addressing seven paradoxical statements including "Religion is magic sanctioned by authority, liberty is obedience to the Law, and reason is God." Included in this edition are the extensive and illuminating footnotes that were added to Levi's text.Some of these are by the anonymous translator, and some by the 'Eminent Occultist' who seems to have been Madame Blavatsky herself. Levi could have asked for no better commentator upon his work. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
