This book will seem turgid at best even for those with a decent background in theosophy. Need to be a heavy hitter or team up with one to tackle this book. Very interesting ideas inside.
This work will appeal to those who question Darwinist theories or find untenable the customary theological dogmas of human origin. Analyzing theosophical doctrines of evolution in relation to scientific fact, the author shows that 'man is his own history': physically the repertory of all stocks below him; spiritually an 'intelligent agency' motivating and working through all forms towards evolutionary perfection. (TW)

Edition: 2nd & Revised
This is a gem for its poetic insight. Purucker is to Theosophy as Thomas Merton is to Christianity.
½
A great no-nonse intro to Theosophy. Purucker tackles the social problems with a "cosmic" perspective. You don't have to be a "theosophist" to appreciate.
