Claude Bragdon draws on higher-dimensional geometry to develop a series of reflections on perception, consciousness and spiritual life. Moving beyond diagrams of space, he asks how the limits of ordinary experience might shape what people take to be the whole of reality.
Chapters range across physical phenomena, curved time, sleep and dreams, Eastern teachings, mysticism and the idea of freedom. Mathematical analogy sits beside philosophical and theosophical interpretation throughout. This is the revised second edition published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1923, with a new preface discussing the reception of the original 1916 book and Bragdon’s engagement with Ouspensky’s ideas.
