Synopsis

This book introduces a philosophy concerning the unity of the natural world and the human spirit, arguing that nature makes visible the workings of the spirit, while the spirit renders nature intelligible. The author begins the book with an exploration of highly empirical subjects, such as the combustion of bodies, light, and air, following with an analysis of electricity and magnetism. The connections between these phenomena and the human spirit are then explored in the second book. Drawing on topics from chemistry and physics, the author argues that the natural world reflects the operations of the mind and that an understanding of nature can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
