Religio Medici - The Religion of a Doctor - a Classic Treatise of Spiritual and Philosophical Self-Reflection, dating to 1642 (Hardcover) (Hardcover)

Religio Medici, the timeless book of personal contemplations by renowned polymath Sir Thomas Browne, is presented here complete. Written by Browne during the 1640s as a means of profiling his psyche in a spiritual testament to the divine, Religio Medici - in English, Religion of a Doctor - was received with acclaim in England and continental Europe. The text is structured around three key virtues: the first part is occupied with the attributes of Faith and Hope; while the second part is concerned with Charity. Throughout, Browne maintains a recognisable style and tone, writing with frankness, clarity and conviction. For its profundity and explanatory wisdom, scholars of the 17th century lavished Religio Medici with praise, and Browne became famous. The book enjoyed a revival in the 19th century, as the characterful idiosyncrasies of Browne found appreciation among artists and intellectuals of that era. Today, the text remains a favourite for its accessible, thought-provoking merits.
