Publisher's Synopsis
Vates, Part 1: Or The Philosophy Of Madness is a book written by Thomas Gordon Hake in 1840. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of madness and its relationship to creativity, genius, and spirituality. Hake argues that madness is not simply a mental illness or disorder, but rather a state of being that can be harnessed for creative and spiritual purposes. He draws on a range of literary, philosophical, and religious sources to support his argument, including the works of Shakespeare, Goethe, and Blake. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of madness and its relationship to human experience. Overall, Vates, Part 1 is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of madness and its place in the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
