En savoir plus sur le livre
In this concise and richly-illustrated work, Olive Whicher introduces an exciting new science of living forms and processes, based on the pioneering work of Rudolf Steiner and his pupil George Adams. In order to understand fully the laws of living nature, she argues, it is necessary to overcome the one-sided ideas of modern science -- ideas which are only adequate when describing material forms and forces. We should widen our thinking to include the "etheric formative forces" alive in ethereal space (or "counterspace") -- which work in plants, for example, by drawing matter upwards in a suctional way. Such forces manifest in a way entirely opposite to those of gravity, which draw downwards, and the forces of explosion, which hurl upward and outward.Readers will find in this book an elementary introduction to a radical new science of living organisms.
