Autorenporträt
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891), best known as the co-founder of the Theosophical Society, was a Russian occultist, philosopher, and author who made a significant impact on the study of esotericism and alternative spirituality. Blavatsky's work largely falls within the context of the broader Western esoteric tradition, with a notable synthesis of Eastern and Western mystical philosophies. In 1875, alongside Henry Steel Olcott and William Quan Judge, she established the Theosophical Society in New York City, aiming to promote the universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color, the study of ancient and modern religions, philosophies, and sciences, and the investigation of the unexplained laws of nature and the psychic powers latent in humanity. Her magnum opus, 'The Secret Doctrine,' delves deep into the synthesis of science, religion, and philosophy. One of Blavatsky's influential works, 'Isis Unveiled' (1877), touches on her theosophical world-view, blending mystical elements and exploring topics such as the existence and knowledge of ancient wisdom-religion. Controversial during her life and even posthumously, Blavatsky's contributions have been both criticized and appreciated, with her literary corpus offering a complex, esoteric narrative that has continued to attract followers and scholarly interest into the 21st century.
