Hermeticism And The New Birth Of Western Science

By Alfred H. Henry

Book Overview

Hermeticism and the New Birth of Western Science is a book written by Alfred H. Henry that explores the relationship between Hermeticism and the development of modern science in the Western world. The book delves into the history of Hermeticism, an ancient philosophical and spiritual tradition that originated in Egypt and Greece, and its influence on the scientific revolution of the 17th century.Henry argues that Hermeticism played a significant role in shaping the way Western scientists approached the study of nature and the universe. He examines the Hermetic principles of correspondence, polarity, and vibration, and shows how they were incorporated into the scientific method and the understanding of natural phenomena.The book also explores the impact of Hermeticism on the works of prominent scientists such as Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and Johannes Kepler. Henry contends that their discoveries and theories were heavily influenced by Hermetic ideas and that the scientific revolution was, in many ways, a continuation of the Hermetic tradition.Overall, Hermeticism and the New Birth of Western Science is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between spirituality and science in the Western world. It sheds light on the often-overlooked role of Hermeticism in the development of modern science and offers a new perspective on the history of Western thought.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ex Oriente Lux: Lecture Outlines for those Seeking Initiation into the Hidden House of Masonry, by Alfred H.
