From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series, astronomy and astrology were once sister sciences: the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Giza was built to align with the constellations, Persia raced with Greece to erect the first observatory, and even Galileo cast horoscopes for the Medicis. But with the Enlightenment and the birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake. Later movements like the Theosophists and the New Agers, would thrust the practice into the mainstream.
Edited by Jessica Hundley, this vibrant visual history of Western astrology is the first ever compendium of its kind, exploring the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 images, from cave paintings and illuminated manuscripts to contemporary art from across the globe. Artwork by the likes of Leonora Carrington, Alphonse Mucha, and Hilma af Klint are sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac, alongside quotations from Kepler, Copernicus, and Campbell. With a foreword by legendary astrologer Susan Miller and excerpts from new interviews with present-day astrologers like Jessica Lanydoo and Pam Younghans, Astrology celebrates the stars and their mysterious influence on our everyday lives.

Автор: Moshe Idel Название: Secrets and Pearls: On Abraham Abulafia`s Esotericism ISBN: 3110540037 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110540031 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 123910.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The special affinities between Maimonides’ esotericism and Abraham Abulafia’s Kabbalah show the deep impact of the former on the latter. The early studies of Abulafia in medieval philosophy, especially Neoaristotelian one, have been analyzed for the first time. The book surveys main topics in Judaism as interpreted by Abulafia: Hebrew language, Torah, the people of Israel, Paradise, in the light of Maimonides’ esotericism. It claims that Abulafia was a radical Maimonidean thinker for his entire career and revealed, in some cases, the hidden philosophical agenda of Maimonides, as he understood it. The universal aspects of Abulafia’s thought have been put in relief, unlike those of most of other Kabbalists. Some of the texts used in this exposition are still in manuscripts, and they have been identified here for the first time as authored by Abulafia.. His study is intended for students of medieval philosophy, Kabbalah, esotericism, especially in Spain, Byzantine Empire, Italy and Sicily, in the 13 th century.

This book focuses on Abraham Abulafia's esoteric thought in relation to Maimonides, Maimonideans, and Islamic thought in the line of Leo Strauss' theory of the history of philosophy. A survey of Abulafia's sources leads into an analysis of the esoteric meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, considering also the possible connection between this parable, which Abdulafia inserted into a book dedicated to his student, the 13th century rabbi Nathan the wise, and the Lessing's Play "Nathan the Wise."
The book also examines Abulafia's universalistic understanding of the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, and the people of Israel (or the Sinaic revelation). The universal aspects of Abulafia’s thought have been put in relief against the more widespread Kabbalistic views which are predominantly particularistic. A number of texts have also been identified here for the first time as authored by Abulafia.
