The Arch Lectures is a collection of eighteen thought-provoking discourses on a wide range of subjects, written by the renowned American architect, author, and philosopher, Claude Bragdon. The book covers a diverse array of topics, including art, science, religion, philosophy, and architecture, and offers Bragdon's unique perspective on each subject.Throughout the book, Bragdon draws on his extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of architecture and design to explore the connections between various disciplines and to offer insights into the nature of creativity and the human experience. He also delves into the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of life, examining the role of intuition, imagination, and symbolism in shaping our understanding of the world around us.The Arch Lectures is a fascinating and enlightening read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, science, and spirituality, and for those seeking to broaden their understanding of the world and their place in it. Bragdon's writing is clear, concise, and engaging, making this book accessible to both scholars and lay readers alike.These lectures were delivered in New York, during the winter of 1940. Contents: Education; Yoga; Fourth Dimension; Symbols and Sacraments; Magic and Mystery of Number; Archetypes; Art and the Machine Age; Skyscrapers; Harnessing the Rainbow; The Theater; Footprints of the Eternal Fugitive; Gift of Asia; Ritual of Play; Where Are You Going, My Pretty Maid? Androgyne; Modern Idolatries; Emerson: Mouthpiece of the American Spirit; Preparedness for Peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
