📱 eBook en inglés ISIS UNVEILED (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Isis Unveiled (Vol. 1 & 2) is Blavatskys sweeping synthesis and polemic: Volume I ("Science") challenges nineteenth‑century materialism; Volume II ("Theology") rebukes ecclesiastical dogma, proposing a perennial wisdom. In an encyclopedic, citation‑heavy collage ranging from the Vedas and Buddhist sutras to Neoplatonists, Hermeticists, and Church Fathers, it argues for occult causation and latent psychic faculties, emblematic of the Victorian occult revival amid Darwinian debate and nascent comparative religion. Russian‑born Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, co‑founder of the Theosophical Society (1875), wrote in New York drawing on extensive travel, multilingual reading, and claimed instruction from Eastern adepts. A journalist and tireless compiler, she mined archives, travelers reports, and philology then circulating in Europe and America. Encounters in Egypt and India, and immersion in Spiritualist circles, reinforced her conviction that ancient esoteric sciences underlie both religion and nature. Scholars of intellectual history, religious studies, and Western esotericism will find a provocative index of nineteenth‑century thought. Read critically yet sympathetically: as a quarry of sources, a feat of comparative imagination, and a cornerstone of Theosophy. Whether sought as an alternative to positivism or as a document of the eras ambitions and anxieties, Isis Unveiled repays patient, discriminating study.
