Reader Reviews
This review is from: Wisdom of the Pagan Philosophers (Wisdom of the Masters Series) (Hardcover)
If you are looking for an extensive, scholarly discusion on the teachings of the pagan philosophers, then you might be dissappointed by this little book. However, if you are looking for a small, beautifully illustrated and designed, art book, that also happens to be packed with truly profound spiritual wisdom, then you couldn't do better. Infact, if I wanted to cheer a friend up, I would send this little book to them as a gift, instead of wasting their time with some beautiful, but meaningless, greeting card. What this little book lacks in size it more than makes up in weight of meaning. This is a collection of wisdom teachings organised under The One, Lovers of Wisdom, Know Thyself, Ethics, and Death and Reincarnation. There are sayings from Pythagoras, Plato, Epictetus, Aurelius, Plotinus, Hermes Trismegistus, etc., etc., etc. Perhaps most importantly, Freke and Gandy clearly get across the reality that the great philosophers were not "dry as dust" scholastics. These men were powerful spiritual teachers; true lovers of the goddess Sophia.
