Publisher's Synopsis
In 1775, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin wrote what is perhaps one of the most profound books about the origin of Man, his Nature, and his relationship with God. It was ratten as a direct rebuttal of creeping atheism which followed the split of Religion and Science of the Age of Enlightenment, and even now gives us a glimpse of a great mind writing in the dangerous times immediately prior to the French Revolution. Outlining his vision of Man as a glorious being who fell from grace because of his rebellion against God, he gives a message of hope for his eventual reintegration with the first principle, providing evidence from fields as diverse as music, art, mathematics, geometry, politics, the military, leadership, religion and. nature.
