Mystic Philosophy: Words and Numbers is a book that explores the relationship between language and mathematics in the context of mysticism. Written by Lynn Thorndike, a renowned historian of science, the book delves into the works of ancient philosophers, theologians, and mystics who believed that words and numbers were the key to understanding the mysteries of the universe.Thorndike examines the ideas of Pythagoras, Plato, and other ancient thinkers who believed that there was a deep connection between mathematics and the divine. She also explores the works of medieval mystics such as Meister Eckhart and John Dee, who used numerology and other mystical practices to gain insight into the nature of reality.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the history of mystic philosophy and its relationship to mathematics. The second part delves deeper into the mystical practices themselves, including the use of numerology, gematria, and other techniques.Throughout the book, Thorndike emphasizes the importance of understanding the context in which these ideas arose. She also highlights the ways in which mystic philosophy has influenced modern science and mathematics.Overall, Mystic Philosophy: Words and Numbers is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between language, mathematics, and mysticism. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, philosophy, or spirituality.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The History of Magic and Experimental Science Part 10, by Lynn Thorndike.
