The Forbidden Universe: The Occult Origins of Science and the Sea

Sobre el libro The Forbidden Universe: The Occult Origins of Science and the Sea de Lynn Picknett publicado por Corsair:

Were the first scientists hermetic philosophers? What do these occult origins of modern science tell us about the universe today? "The Forbidden Universe" reveals the secret brotherhood that defined the world, and perhaps discovered the mind of God. All the pioneers of science, from Copernicus to Newton via Galileo, were inspired by Hermeticism. Men such as Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Bacon, Kepler, Tycho Brahe - even Shakespeare - owed much of their achievements to basically occult beliefs - the hermetica.
