Ebook: The history and philosophy of the metaphysical movements in America

This book deals with certain more recent religious philosophies that are of increasing importance in the United States as well as abroad. If a superficial observation shows vast differences among some of these movements, a more careful examination of their basic philosophies discloses sound reasons for treating them as closely related. Moreover, all these groups have a lineal descent from a common cultural origin which shows their doctrinal kinship and illumines more clearly the nature of this relation.
