Publisher's Synopsis
""Mysticism And Democracy In The English Commonwealth"" is a book written by Rufus M. Jones, which comprises a series of lectures that were delivered by the author at Harvard University in 1930-1931. The book examines the relationship between mysticism and democracy in the English Commonwealth during the 17th century. Jones argues that mysticism played a significant role in shaping the political and social landscape of England during this period, and that it was instrumental in the development of democratic ideals. He explores the lives and teachings of several prominent mystics of the time, including George Fox, William Penn, and John Milton, and shows how their ideas and actions contributed to the emergence of a more egalitarian society. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between spirituality and politics, and sheds light on the historical roots of modern democratic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
