Emerson And Theosophy

By Theosophical Publishing Society

Book Overview

Emerson and Theosophy is a book published by the Theosophical Publishing Society that explores the relationship between the American philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson and theosophy, a spiritual movement that originated in the 19th century. The book delves into Emerson's ideas on nature, self-reliance, and transcendentalism, and how they intersect with theosophical principles such as karma, reincarnation, and the unity of all things. The author examines how Emerson's writings influenced theosophical thinkers such as Helena Blavatsky and Annie Besant, and how theosophy in turn influenced Emerson's later works. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of spirituality and philosophy in America.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Theosophical Siftings: A Collection of Essays, by Theosophical Publishing Society .
