Rudolf Steiner's superb thesis provides deep insight into spiritual
science, and the history of mankind as viewed through the
philosophy of the anthroposophy movement he founded. An Outline of
Esoteric Science attempts to reconcile mankind's spiritual being
with the scientific exactitude which had emerged among scholars in
the 19th century. Steiner lays out the spiritual realms which are
invisible to us, attempting to use a defined precision similar to
that which had emerged in science. In the final section, this book
refers to the spiritual development and contemplation necessary for
individuals to see the spiritual realms and planes which comprise
existence and the universe. The means by which individuals may
train themselves introspectively to see are detailed by Steiner,
whose theosophical philosophy was, by the time of this book's
publication in 1909, well-developed.
The dazzling companion volume to the bestselling MYTHOS. There are heroes - and then there are Greek heroes.
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
Cotton Mather chronicles the Salem witch trials which took place in
New England in the late 18th century. Together with the trials,
this book holds detailed accounts of devilish phenomena Mather
believed were linked to the discovery of the local witches. Mather
discusses a range of spiritual phenomena reported by various
figures in the fledgling society of New England. Sudden
apparitions, visions, and other strange goings on which she
believed were linked to the frequent finding of witches are
cataloged. The bulk of the text however is concerned with the
trials of many witches, the causes of their accusations, and the
circumstances under which they were tried. Mather's book is today
one of the best and most complete primary narratives of what came
to be known as the Salem witch trials; with accounts of witnesses,
judges, and evidence put forward all present. Furthermore, Mather's
book was published in 1693, shortly after the trials were
concluded.
