Summary: "If, as the Author says, Plato enriched by his philosophic vision, the modern is impoverish by his unbelief... Here is a book that maintains that all facts must answers to the question, Why? Not how, when, or what. Why, in no other sense than why. Science is not based upon facts, but upon observation, experiment, logic, reason, and opinion - until 'why' has been established. Science has not been fair, just, nor equitable in it examination of metaphysics. It has not been 'scientific' in its examination. It has reasoned from prejudices rather than from available day. Opinions may be intriguing, but they demonstrate nothing; they neither prove nor disprove anything. Mysticism is not a vagary; it is a distinct department of learning which, if given proper consideration and opportunity, could make a definite contribution to normalcy and well being. And so, a book on occult anatomy. Convinced of immortality, the sages of antiquity viewed the human body not as the man but the house of the man. The science of the soul occupied first place. The masters of three Academies often pointed out some analogy in human organ or function in justifying an abstract conclusion. Hitherto the 'anatomy of the philosophers' has existed only in a fragmentary state, eluding the casual reader. Now are gathered and reduced to order brilliant gems of though an engrossing theme, the mystic lore of the human body." Features detailed seventeen-page index. 255 pages. Insured post.. Second Edition . Hard Cover. Fine/Good. Illus. by Vesalius, Andreus; Fludd, Robert; da Vince, Leonardo; Various Rosicrucians; et Al.. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
