Were the first scientists hermetic philosophers? What do these
occult origins of modern science tell us about the universe today?
The Forbidden Universe reveals the secret brotherhood that defined
the world, and perhaps discovered the mind of God. All the pioneers
of science, from Copernicus to Newton via Galileo, were inspired by
Hermeticism. Men such as Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz,
Bacon, Kepler, Tycho Brahe - even Shakespeare - owed much of their
achievements to basically occult beliefs - the hermetica. In this
fascinating study, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince go in search of
the Hermetic origins of modern science and prove that not
everything is as it seems and that over the past 400 years there
has been a secret agenda behind our search for truth. From the age
of Leonardo da Vinci, the influence of hermetic thinking upon the
greatest minds in history has been hidden, a secret held by a
forbidden brotherhood in search of the mind of God. Yet this search
does not end in history but can be found in the present day - in
the contemporary debates of leading evolutionists and thinkers. The
significance of this hidden school can hardly be over-emphasised.
Not only did it provide a spiritual and philosophical background to
the rise of modern science, but its worldview is also relevant to
those hungry for all sorts of knowledge even in the twenty-first
century. And it may even show the way to reconciling the apparently
irreconcilable divide between the scientific and the spiritual.
Picknett and Prince go in search of this true foundation of modern
rational thought and reveal a story that overturns 400 years of
received wisdom.
