....DESCARTES’S SECRET NOTEBOOK: A True Tale of Mathematics, Mysticism & the Quest to Understand the Universe by Amir D. Aczel, at $24.95 (H) from Broadway Books, ISBN 0767920333. René
Descartes (1596-1650) is a key figure in Western philosophy and mathematics. His apothegm “Cogito, ergo sum” marked the
birth of the mind-body problem, while his “Cartesian coordinates” made the intellectual conquest of physical space possible. But Descartes also had a mystical side. Almost certainly a member of the Rosicrucians, he kept a secret notebook, mostly written in code. After Descartes’s death, mathematician Gottfried Leibniz, the inventor of calculus, was able to copy
a few pages. This book delves into the mystery.
....EARTH PATH: Grounding Your Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature by Starhawk, at $14.95 (q) from HarperCollins, ISBN 0060000937. Institutionalized religions have scriptures. But the sacred texts for Wicca and other Earth-based traditions are written in nature. Starhawk, an activist, ecofeminist and best-selling author, uses awareness exercises, inspiring meditations, and magical rituals to teach readers how to respect the natural world and connect spiritually with the powers of nature. As you become attuned to the rhythms of the Earth, your focus will shift from isolated objects to the interconnecting patterns and relationships in nature which hold the key to spiritual renewal. Now in paper.
....ESSENTIAL TRANSCENDENTALISTS, edited by Richard G. Geldard, at $15.95 from Jeremy P. Tarcher Inc., ISBN 158542434X. Each year, in books and articles and in visits to historic sites such as Walden Pond, thousands of people rediscover Transcendentalist authors
like Emerson, Thoreau, and Bronson Alcott. But few appreciate the truly mystical and contemplative qualities of the Transcendentalists and the spiritual movements and figures they have inspired. Geldard, one of today’s leading scholars of Emerson, gathers revealing commentary, historical overview, and selections from classic works to offer an overdue examination of the spiritual breadth and depth of
“Yankee mysticism.”
