Four Dimensional Vistas - Claude Fayette Bragdon - Bog

Four Dimensional Vistas is a book written by Claude Bragdon that explores the concept of the fourth dimension and its implications on art, architecture, and spirituality. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the theoretical aspects of the fourth dimension, including its history, mathematical principles, and philosophical implications. The second part of the book is more practical and explores how the fourth dimension can be applied in art and architecture. Bragdon argues that the fourth dimension is not simply a mathematical concept, but a spiritual one as well, and that understanding it can lead to a greater understanding of the universe and our place in it. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both lay readers and those with a background in mathematics or philosophy. Overall, Four Dimensional Vistas is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a fascinating topic that continues to captivate scientists, artists, and philosophers alike.1916.
