Publisher's Synopsis
""Haeckel, The Riddle Of The Universe And Theosophy"" is a book written by Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher, and founder of Anthroposophy. The book is a critical analysis of the scientific theories of Ernst Haeckel, a prominent biologist of the 19th century. Steiner argues that Haeckel's theories of evolution and natural selection are incomplete and lack spiritual insight.Steiner further explores theosophy, a spiritual philosophy that seeks to understand the nature of existence and the universe. He delves into theosophical concepts such as karma, reincarnation, and the spiritual hierarchy of beings. Steiner uses these concepts to provide a deeper understanding of the universe and its mysteries.The book is divided into two parts, the first focusing on Haeckel's theories and their limitations, and the second exploring theosophical concepts and their relevance to the study of the universe. Steiner's writing is dense and complex, requiring a certain level of familiarity with philosophical and spiritual concepts.Overall, ""Haeckel, The Riddle Of The Universe And Theosophy"" is a thought-provoking read that challenges traditional scientific and philosophical views of the universe, offering a unique perspective on the nature of existence.THIS 62 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Three Essays on Haeckel and Karma, by Rudolf Steiner.
