Ancient And Modern Science

by Annie Besant

Book Overview

""Ancient and Modern Science"" is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent Theosophist and advocate for women's rights in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores the similarities and differences between ancient and modern scientific knowledge, and argues that the two are complementary rather than contradictory. Besant draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts from India, Greece, and Egypt, as well as contemporary scientific discoveries in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology. She also explores the role of intuition and spiritual insight in scientific discovery, arguing that these are essential components of a holistic approach to knowledge. Throughout the book, Besant emphasizes the importance of scientific inquiry as a means of understanding the world around us and improving the human condition. Overall, ""Ancient and Modern Science"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between science, spirituality, and human progress.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Evolution and Occultism, by Annie Besant.
