Isis Unveiled, Vol. 1: A Master Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology; Science (Classic Reprint)

Isis Unveiled was Helena Blavatsky's first major literary work in which she explores the depths of esoteric subjects such as psychic phenomena, the occult and the unknown natural forces in an attempt to restore to man knowledge of what Ms Blavatsky refers to as "Ancient Wisdom".Born in in the Russian Empire in 1831, by the 1870s Helena Blavasky had become a key figure in the occult societies and a founding mind of what are now key concepts of Theosophy. After carrying out wide-ranging research on a wide spectrum of spiritual traditions Blavasky went on to publish various works, including Isis Unveiled, all of which held in high regard by the Theosophical Society.In this, volume one of two of Isis Unveiled, 'The Infallibility of Modern Science' Helena demonstrates considerable knowledge of the scientific views of her time (in volume two going into greater detail regarding the religious aspects and influences of esotericism), seeking to describe an integration of more modern scientific findings into the beliefs on arcane and hermetic practises.A truly stunning book in terms of sheer volume of information and the quality of writing and argument put forth, another must read in the Forgotten Books collection for those with prior knowledge on the esoteric subjects and none-followers alike.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
