Description

This vintage book contains Edward Carpenter's 1904 treatise on creationism, "The Art Of Creation - Essays On The Self And Its Powers". Within his text, Carpenter explores creationism in the context of contemporary philosophic and scientific thought. Written at a time when ancient philosophical and spiritual ideas were beginning to be discussed in relation to new and exciting developments in science, this fascinating treatise constitutes a must-read for anyone with an interest in the subject. It would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Matter and Consciousness", "The Three Stages of Consciousness", "The Self and its Affiliations", "Platonic Ideas and Heredity", "The Devils and the Idols", "Beauty and Duty", "Creation", "Transformation", etcetera. Edward Carpenter (1844 - 1929) was an English philosopher, poet, and anthologist. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
