Summary |
"Isis Unveiled, Volume 1 (of 2), Science" by H. P. Blavatsky is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The book delves into esoteric teachings that bridge ancient and modern knowledge, particularly focusing on the intertwining of science and theology. Blavatsky aims to reveal hidden truths and explore the mystical traditions that underpin various philosophical systems throughout history. At the start of this comprehensive analysis, the author presents her intentions and the context of her work. She criticizes both modern science and contemporary theology, asserting that neither fully addresses the deeper questions of existence and human destiny. Blavatsky refers to her studies with Eastern sages, emphasizing the importance of ancient wisdom in understanding the divine and our own potential. Through a critical examination of prevailing dogmas, she aims to establish a foundation for a more profound understanding of both the cosmos and humanity's place within it, setting the stage for the chapters that follow.
