Utriusque Cosmi Historia - Robert Fludd - Bog

Utriusque Cosmi Historia is a book written by Dr. Robert Fludd, a 17th-century English physician, philosopher, and mystic. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the macrocosm or the universe as a whole, and the second part focusing on the microcosm or the human body.In the first part, Fludd describes the creation of the universe according to the Hermetic tradition, which emphasizes the unity of all things and the interconnectedness of the cosmos. He also discusses various philosophical and scientific theories of the time, including the idea of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water), the concept of celestial spheres, and the role of angels in the cosmos.In the second part, Fludd explores the human body as a microcosm of the universe, drawing on the ancient idea of the correspondence between the macrocosm and the microcosm. He discusses the various organs and systems of the body, their functions, and their connections to the larger universe. He also delves into the spiritual aspects of the body, including the role of the soul and the relationship between the body and the divine.Overall, Utriusque Cosmi Historia is a complex and multifaceted work that combines philosophy, science, and mysticism to present a holistic view of the universe and the human body. It is a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and spiritual world of the 17th century, and a testament to the enduring appeal of Hermetic philosophy.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Dr. Robert Fludd, by Dr. Robert Fludd.
