Isis Unveiled

Description

Isis Unveiled: A Master-Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology was Blavatsky's first major work on theosophy, examining religion and science in the light of Western and Oriental ancient wisdom and occult and spiritualistic phenomena. While it is considered an important work in Western esotericism, it has also been criticised for plagiarism. However, it has been noted by some that there may have been an agenda to expose Blavatsky as an imposter, and that instead it should be acknowledged that she did formulate a unique set of occult ideas, and that the plagiarism came merely from her lack of English skills, and therefore from having to rely on other sources. This edition includes both volumes. Volume I, The 'Infallibility' of Modern Science, discusses occult science, psychic phenomena, and the unknown forces of nature. Volume II, Theology, discusses the parallells between the Christian holy texts to religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Zoroastrianism. Extremely heavy with footnotes.

This book has 595,716 words, 884 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1877.
