Cosmic Consciousness

Meer over het boek

Exploring the evolution of consciousness, Bucke's magnum opus presents a theory of three developmental stages: animal consciousness, self-consciousness, and cosmic consciousness. He intertwines his own experiences with those of notable figures such as Whitman, Buddha, and Jesus, illustrating a historical trend toward less fearful religious beliefs. This comprehensive work delves into the transformative nature of human awareness, positioning cosmic consciousness as the next step in our collective evolution. A significant contribution to philosophical and psychological thought.
