Mystics of the Renaissance: Their Relation to Modern Thought - Paperback

This work of Rudolf Steiner's creation is predominantly a collection of various mystic philosophy from the spiritual minds of the Renaissance (although it mentions and details some prior, Medieval work and a few contemporary figures as well.) From Boehme to Paracelsus, and from Agrippa to Eckhart, it speaks about the nature of mortality, of divinity, the nature of reality, and other occult topics.With numerous quotations of works from these individuals and plenty of secondary materials used to flesh the ideas expressed out, the relation between man and the divine is explored here in significant depth from Steiners' Theosophical and Anthroposophical perspective.
