About this listen
Have you ever wondered if there's more to Western philosophy than cold logic and materialism? Have you questioned if science and reason provide all the answers we seek?
" The Mystic Heart of Western Thought" unveils the hidden history of Western esoteric traditions, a history often dismissed as superstition or heresy. Dive into a captivating exploration of Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, alchemy, and lesser-known figures like Jakob Boehme and William Blake.
Discover an alternative path to wisdom:
  • Understand the mystical yearning for transcendence: Journey from Plato's Cave to the Gnostics' cosmic rebellion to alchemical laboratories and discover a hunger to break free from the confines of the ordinary.
  • Explore the interplay of reason and intuition: This book argues that mysticism isn't anti-rational, but expands our understanding of how we create knowledge and find meaning.
  • Unveil the relevance of mysticism for today: Witness how these ancient ideas echo within Carl Jung's psychology, counterculture movements, and our modern longing for purpose in a materialistic age.
If you're intrigued by the hidden dimensions of our world, yearn for the enchantment that science alone cannot provide, or seek a deeper understanding of your own potential, this book is your invitation. Embark on a journey to rediscover the forgotten wisdom of the Western mystics.
