Produktbeschreibung
The Doctrine and Literature of the Kabalah is a comprehensive study of the mystical Jewish tradition of Kabbalah, written by Arthur Edward Waite. The book explores the history, philosophy, and practices of Kabbalah, tracing its origins in ancient Jewish mysticism and its development through the Middle Ages and into the modern era. Waite examines the key concepts and teachings of Kabbalah, including the sefirot, the Tree of Life, and the mystical interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. He also discusses the literature and texts of Kabbalah, such as the Zohar and the writings of Isaac Luria. The book provides a detailed and scholarly analysis of this complex and esoteric tradition, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Kabbalah.From whatever point of view it may be approached, the Kabalah is of importance: it connects with literatures which are greater than itself and with pregnant issues of history. It is part of the history of philosophy, and as such it once entered into the thought of Europe. It is responsible, broadly speaking, for all that strange tissue of symbolism and ceremonial which made up the magic of the Middle Ages; at a later period it sought to transform alchemy; it tinctured many of those conventional practices and beliefs which we term superstition generically, and the guise in which we know them is therefore chiefly a Kabalistic guise.""
