On Man

By Louis Claude de St. Martin and Louis Claude de Saint-Martin

Book Overview

On Man is a philosophical work written by Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, a French mystic and philosopher of the 18th century. The book is a collection of essays and reflections that explore the nature of humanity, the purpose of life, and the relationship between God and man. Saint-Martin's writing is deeply spiritual and draws heavily on Christian mysticism and esotericism. He argues that man is a divine creation, endowed with a spark of the divine that gives him the potential to transcend his earthly limitations and attain union with God. He also explores the concept of free will, arguing that it is the key to unlocking man's potential for spiritual growth and enlightenment.Throughout the book, Saint-Martin emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge and self-awareness in the pursuit of spiritual growth. He encourages readers to examine their own lives and to seek out the divine within themselves, rather than relying on external sources of authority or guidance.On Man is a challenging and thought-provoking work that will appeal to readers interested in philosophy, spirituality, and mysticism. Saint-Martin's writing is dense and complex, but also deeply rewarding for those who are willing to engage with his ideas.THIS 192 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Man: His True Nature and Ministry, by Louis Claude de St. Martin.
