Book Overview

The book ""Theosophy From 1700 To 1875"" written by J. D. Buck is a comprehensive study of the development of theosophy, a spiritual philosophy that seeks to understand the nature of the universe and humanity's place within it, from the 18th to the 19th century. The author examines the historical roots of theosophy, tracing its origins to ancient Greek philosophy, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism, and explores its influence on various religious and philosophical movements, including Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and the New Thought movement.The book also delves into the lives and teachings of prominent theosophists of the time, including Helena Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and William Quan Judge, and their contributions to the development of theosophy as a distinct spiritual tradition. Buck analyzes theosophical concepts such as karma, reincarnation, and the nature of the divine, and discusses their relevance to contemporary spiritual practices.Overall, ""Theosophy From 1700 To 1875"" provides a thorough and insightful exploration of the history and philosophy of theosophy, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the spiritual traditions of the West.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Modern World Movements, by J.
