Bücher der Reihe Modern Theosophy

This volume explores the insight modern Theosophy can offer into the spiritual and social dimensions of art, artistic practice and creativity. It is part of a series of writings, collected under the banner 'Modern Theosophy' re-presenting important texts drawn from the history of the Theosophical movement and further complemented by texts from contemporary authors and innovative thinkers. Martin Firrell is a contemporary theosophist and a public artist using language in public space to engage directly with the public. His work promotes constructive dialogues about marginalisation, equality and more equitable social organisation, with the aim of making the world more humane. Aleksandra Loginovna Pogosskaia, A. L. Pogosky, or Madame Pogosky was a Russian emigre, an activist and business woman promoting Russian art in the West. She became a member of the Theosophical Society in 1909 drawn to the Society's object of forming a 'universal brotherhood of humanity'. She applied this idea to communal work in the arts. The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 to explore the interconnectedness of all life, the universal wisdoms held in ancient religions and myths, and the potential latent in human beings.
