Philosophia Sacra and Philosophia Moysaica (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162819433)

Philosophia Sacra and Philosophia Moysaica are two books written by Dr. Robert Fludd, a 17th-century English physician, philosopher, and esotericist. The books delve into the realms of metaphysics, theology, and mysticism, exploring the relationship between God and the universe, and the role of humanity in this divine plan.Philosophia Sacra, or Sacred Philosophy, is a treatise on the nature of God and the universe, drawing on the works of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, as well as the teachings of the Christian Bible. Fludd argues that the universe is a reflection of God's divine plan, and that humanity has a role to play in this plan through the pursuit of knowledge and the cultivation of virtue. The book also touches on topics such as the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the role of angels and demons in the world.Philosophia Moysaica, or Moses' Philosophy, is a continuation of Philosophia Sacra, focusing specifically on the teachings of the Hebrew Bible and the figure of Moses. Fludd argues that Moses was a prophet and a philosopher, and that his teachings contain valuable insights into the nature of God and the universe. The book explores the symbolism and allegory present in the Hebrew Bible, and draws connections between the teachings of Moses and those of other ancient philosophers.Overall, Philosophia Sacra and Philosophia Moysaica are complex and esoteric works that seek to reconcile the teachings of ancient philosophy and religion with the emerging scientific and intellectual trends of the 17th century. The books are a testament to Fludd's deep knowledge and understanding of theology, philosophy, and mysticism, and remain important works in the history of Western esotericism.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Dr. Robert Fludd, by Dr. Robert Fludd.
