Symbol and the Symbolic: Ancient Egypt, Science, and the Evolution of Consciousness

by R. A. Schwaller De Lubicz

Symbol and the Symbolic: Ancient Egypt, Science, and the Evolution of Consciousness Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Symbolism is the intuitive means of overcoming the limitations of reason. Here Schwaller explains how true progress in human thought can be made only if we call upon the " symbolizing" faculty of intelligence, developed and refined in the temple culture of ancient Egypt and reflected in its hieroglyphs.

About the Author

R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887--1961) was one of the most important philosophers, mathematicians, and Egyptologists of this century. His elucidation of the temple at Luxor and his presentation of the Egyptian understanding of a special quality of innate consciousness form a bridge that links the sacred science of the Ancients to its rediscovery in our own time.
