THE FORBIDDEN UNIVERSE: THE OCCULT ORIGINS OF SCIENCE AND THE SEARCH FOR THE MIND OF GOD

Book ID/图书代码： 03275010B40549

English Summary/英文概要： Were the first scientists hermetic philosophers? What do these occult origins of modern science tell us about the universe today? "The Forbidden Universe" reveals the secret brotherhood that defined the world, and perhaps discovered the mind of God. All the pioneers of science, from Copernicus to Newton via Galileo, were inspired by Hermeticism. Men such as Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Bacon, Kepler, Tycho Brahe - even Shakespeare - owed much of their achievements to basically occult beliefs - the hermetica. In this fascinating study, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince go in search of the Hermetic origins of modern science and prove that not everything is as it seems and that over the past 400 years there has been a secret agenda behind our search for truth. From the age of Leonardo da Vinci, the influence of hermetic thinking upon the greatest minds in history has been hidden, a secret held by a forbidden brotherhood in search of the mind of God. Yet this search does not end in history but can be found in the present day - in the contemporary debates of leading evolutionists and thinkers. The significance of this hidden school can hardly be over-emphasised. Not only did it provide a spiritual and philosophical background to the rise of modern science, but its worldview is also relevant to those hungry for all sorts of knowledge even in the twenty-first century. And it may even show the way to reconciling the apparently irreconcilable divide between the scientific and the spiritual. Picknett and Prince go in search of this true foundation of modern rational thought and reveal a story that overturns 400 years of received wisdom. Praise for Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince: Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince...specialise in topics that challenge established and cultural history’ - "Fortean Times". ’Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince...hold as good a claim as any to be the model for Robert Langdon, for their book stands at the heart of "The Da Vinci Code’s" ideas’ - "The Rough Guide to "The Da Vinci Code"". ’One of the most fascinating books I have read since "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail"’ - Colin Wilson.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 最早的科学家是隐秘的哲学家吗？这些神秘的现代科学起源关于现在的宇宙将告诉我们些什麽呢？《被禁锢的宇宙》将要向我们神秘的世界形成期，也许也会从中发现上帝的心意。所有科学的先驱，从哥白尼到伽利略、牛顿都受到过密封主义的启发。诸如如哥白尼、伽利略、牛顿、莱布尼茨、培根、开普勒、第谷布拉赫，甚至连莎士比亚都应该将他们的大部分成就归功于基本的隐匿思想——密封主义。在这个奇妙的研究中，林·皮克尼特和克莱夫·布林斯探究现代科学的密封主义起源并试图证明并非一切都如其所表象一样而且在过去的400年里在人们寻求真理的背后一直存在着一个秘密无形的安排。从达芬奇时代开始，密封主义观念对历史上伟大思想的影响被隐匿。这是一个被为搜寻上帝旨意而禁锢的兄弟所保守的秘密。然而，历史上这样的搜寻并没有结束，恰恰在今天还是可以找到踪迹——在当代主要进化论者和思想家们的辩论里。这个隐藏的思想学派不会被过分强调。它不仅为现在科学的崛起提供了精神和哲学背景，其世界观更关系到那些21世纪里对各种知识渴求。它甚至可以为协调科学和精神之间显而易见且不可调和的鸿沟指明方法。林·皮克尼特和克莱夫·布林斯研究这个现代理性思维的奠基石，揭示了一个可以推翻400多年来受到的智慧的故事。

对林·皮克尼特和克莱夫·布林斯的点评如下：“林·皮克尼特和克莱夫·布林斯是挑战已建立的文化历史专家。”——《Fortean时报》。

“林·皮克尼特和克莱夫·布林斯所主张的堪比罗伯特·兰登的典范，他们的书诠释了<达芬奇密码>思想的中心。”——《达芬奇密码》阅读指南。

“这是继《圣血和圣杯》之后，我读过的最奇妙的书。”——柯林·威尔逊。(兼职翻译-JDM)

About the Author/作者介绍： 1989年他们偶然在伦敦北部一个瑞士平房前相遇前，林原本是一名来自纽约的记者、图书编辑和几个主要出版物编辑(她曾是20世纪80年代出版物《无法解释》的副主编)以及广播和电视节目主持人。克莱夫是一个伦敦人，曾作为一家大型的国家慈善机构的系统分析员数年。然而，就在他们相遇之后，他们放弃了“合适”他们的工作，全职集中于对宗教和历史之谜的研究，并成功地开展长期合作著书生涯。他们共同创作的作品包括：《都灵裹尸布》、《圣殿骑士启示》、《星际之门的阴谋》、《双重标准》，《温莎之战》，《友好之火》、《锡永启示录》和《克里斯的面具》。

Before their serendipitous first encounter in 1989 on a doorstep in Swiss Cottage, north London, Lynn, originally from the city of York, was a journalist, editor of books and several major partworks (she was deputy editor of the seminal 1980s publication The Unexplained), broadcaster and television presenter. Clive, a Londoner, had worked for several years as a systems analyst for a major national charity. However, after meeting they abandoned their ’proper’ jobs to concentrate full-time on research into religious and historical mysteries, which became a successful and enduring joint career in authorship. Jointly they are the authors of The Turin Shroud, The Templar Revelation, The Stargate Conspiracy, Double Standards, The War of the Windsors, Friendly Fire, Sion Revelation and The Masks of Christ.
