Summary of My Years of Magical Thinking by Lionel Snell Author : Alden Marshall Publisher : Condensed Esoterica Total Pages : Release : 101-01-01 ISBN 10 : ISBN 13 : Language : EN, FR, DE, ES & NL GET BOOK Summary of My Years of Magical Thinking by Lionel Snell Book Description: A concise and professionally-researched summary of Lionel Snell's book: "My Years of Magical Thinking". From Alden Marshall’s Condensed Esoterica series, this complete summary provides a fast and straightforward way to understand and study the main ideas and concepts of the original source text. About the Original Book: My Years of Magical Thinking by Lionel Snell is an autobiographical journey into his history of thinking about the nature of reality, cognition, and human development. The core of the book presents the author’s view that civilization moves through a cycle of different governing values systems, which he calls cultures, from artistic to religious to scientific to magical, and then back to artistic. Although he explores each culture (except art) in some depth, magic receives the bulk of the attention, as he feels it is the part of the cycle we are currently moving into. The author goes to great lengths to distinguish magic as a system of thinking about the world, rather than comprising any specific acts, abilities, or rules in itself. Added-value of this summary: * Save time * Understand the key concepts * Expand your knowledge Note to readers: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of the book and not the original book itself.
