The Small Old Path

by Claude Bragdon

About this book

Claude Bragdon presents a short account of Theosophy as a spiritual path, relating it to his understanding of Asian religious and philosophical traditions. He considers the movement of ideas between East and West and argues that inward development can offer a different measure of progress from material achievement.

The discussion introduces recurring theosophical ideas about human potential, consciousness and the search for wisdom, while describing what Bragdon sees as the practical implications of those beliefs. This is the complete second edition published by the Manas Press in 1914. The original introductory material also outlines the objects and history of the Theosophical Society and lists further reading.
