Mens in de Evolutie, De

At a time when the debate about human evolution (Darwin or God) is flaring up again, this book offers a much broader view, which will allow you to rise above the parties.
Gottfried de Purucker gives the floor to Esoteric Philosophy: the inner source of all religions and scientific movements in the world.
Man turns out to be much more than a chance evolved mammal. Man also turns out not to be a weak 'sinful' creature, created by someone else.
Every person appears to have all the infinite cosmic possibilities within them. Including the free will and the power to bring out all those possibilities within themselves and learn to use them actively.
Gottfried de Purucker lets you relive the history of the growth of consciousness of humanity on this planet. He also shows a new, much broader perspective for the future.
This book was written in the middle of the 20th century. Later, attempts were made to 'update' this book using the evolutionary theories of around 1980. However, these changes turned out to be outdated around 2000. With this 'update', the universal, timeless value of what Gottfried de Purucker has to tell us was violated.
Hence, this edition of 'Man in Evolution' follows the original text exactly.
