Publisher's Synopsis
""Pantheism: Its Story and Significance"" by J. Allanson Picton is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophy of pantheism. The book delves into the history and evolution of pantheistic thought, tracing its roots back to ancient civilizations and examining its influence on modern thinkers. Picton provides a detailed analysis of the key concepts and principles of pantheism, including the belief in the unity of all things and the interconnectedness of the universe. He also explores the relationship between pantheism and other philosophical schools of thought, such as idealism and materialism. Throughout the book, Picton argues that pantheism offers a unique and valuable perspective on the nature of reality and the human experience, and he makes a compelling case for its continued relevance in the modern world. This is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality, or the history of ideas.It has been the customary and perhaps inevitable method of writers on Pantheism to trace its main idea back to the dreams of Vedic poets, the musings of Egyptian priests, and the speculations of the Greeks. But though it is undeniable that the divine unity of all Being was an almost necessary issue of earliest human thought upon the many and the one, yet the above method of treating Pantheism is to some extent misleading; and therefore caution is needed in using it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
