The book explores the origins of pantheism, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and India, and discusses its development throughout history. Picton examines the beliefs and practices of pantheists, and discusses how their worldview differs from other religious and philosophical traditions.The book also discusses the significance of pantheism in modern times, exploring its influence on literature, art, and culture. Picton argues that pantheism provides a unique perspective on the relationship between humanity and the natural world, and offers a way to reconcile science and spirituality.Overall, Pantheism Its Story And Significance is a comprehensive exploration of pantheism, offering readers a deep understanding of this often-misunderstood philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion and philosophy, as well as those looking for a new perspective on the relationship between humanity and the natural world.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.
