2010 Reprint of 1905 edition.This work is the magnum opus of
Bucke's career, a project that he researched and wrote over many
years. In it, Bucke described his own experience, that of
contemporaries (most notably Whitman, but also unknown figures like
"C.P."), and the experiences and outlook of historical figures
including Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Plotinus, Muhammad, Dante, Francis
Bacon, and William Blake. Bucke developed a theory involving three
stages in the development of consciousness: the simple
consciousness of animals; the self-consciousness of the mass of
humanity (encompassing reason, imagination, etc.); and cosmic
consciousness - an emerging faculty and the next stage of human
development. Among the effects of this progression, he believed he
detected a lengthy historical trend in which religious conceptions
and theologies had become less and less fearful. A classic work.
