Originally published in 1888, The Secret Doctrine is Madame Blavatsky’s two-volume magnum opus, constituting one of the seminal works on esoteric knowledge of their age. Volume 1, ‘Cosmogenesis, ‘ covers the creation of the universe, the evolution of our universe, and how it follows the Hindu cycles of manvantaras (activity) and pralayas (passivity).
A propos de l’auteur
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) was a theosophist, writer, and traveler—especially to Tibet, the Middle East, and Egypt—as well as one of the most important figures in western esoteric thought. In 1875 Blavatsky and Colonel H. S. Olcott established the Theosophical Society, creating a “Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color.” A prolific and controversial writer, Blavatsky explored abstract and metaphysical principles, and sought to denounce and correct superstitions that she believed were detrimental to esoteric thinking.
