Religio Medici, Hydriotaphia, and the Garden of Cyrus

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of faith, mortality, and the natural world, this collection features three significant works by Sir Thomas Browne. "Religio Medici" delves into personal beliefs and the coexistence of science and religion. "Hydriotaphia" reflects on death and burial practices, inspired by the discovery of ancient urns. "The Garden of Cyrus" presents a philosophical meditation on the concept of the garden as a symbol of order and creativity. Together, these texts offer profound insights into 17th-century thought and the human experience.
