The Perfective Rites and Other Writings of Alexander Wilder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781365916939)

This is the fourth volume of a series of Collected Writings of Alexander Wilder, 410 pages, Preface and Index. The 56 Wilder articles here include 8 from Johnson's "The Platonist" and "Blibliotheca Platonica," with Wilder's series "Platonic Technology" which is a glossary of 265 terms important in Greek Philosophy. Other articles include "Bacchus the Prophet-God," "Paul the Founder of Christianity," "Hebrew and Christian Occultism," "The Religions of Ancient Greece and Rome," and "A Study of Plato's Phaedo." Wilder was one of the best students of Platonism and Ancient History of his time, and there is much information on the Eleusinian, Cabeirien, Bacchic/Dionysian, Egyptian and Mithraic Mysteries. He was editor of H.P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled" and she held that only Wilder and Thomas Taylor had a deep intuition on Platonic subjects.
