Arthur E. Powell - Le Système Solaire - 1932

Stunning illustrated edition of this work, offering an interpretation of the solar system that goes far beyond the strictly astronomical framework to fit within a theosophical and spiritual perspective -

The work envisions the Sun, the planets and their relationships not only as physical realities, but also as manifestations of a living cosmic order, structured by profound spiritual laws -

Powell relies on the doctrines of the Theosophical Society to develop a vision in which each planet possesses an energetic, symbolic and evolutionary dimension, influencing forms of consciousness and the stages of universal development -

The book thus links cosmology, metaphysics and esoteric philosophy, presenting the solar system as a hierarchical organism where invisible forces play as essential a role as physical phenomena -
