Description
"Esoteric Vegetarianism" is not an ordinary plead in favour of vegetarianism, but a collection of essays by authors ancient and modern on its most philosophical and esoteric aspects. Allow Iamblichus to introduce you to the company of the ancient vegetarian followers of Pythagoras; let yourself become imbued with the dialectical beauty and profound wisdom of Plutarch and Plato; follow Porphyry's extensive mystical disquisitions on the matter; hear the allegedly clairvoyant testimonies by Charles W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant on what the indiscriminate sacrifice of animals for food entails, and become acquainted with the theosophical elucidations of Helena P. Blavatsky on whether animals are endowed with souls. All this benefiting from the insightful annotations of the modern Neo-Platonic philosopher Thomas Taylor and an additional essay, introduction and further annotations by Sonchis Triacorda. The present volume contains: "On the Eating of Flesh I & II" by Plutarch. "Vegetarianism in the Light of Theosophy" by Annie Besant "Vegetarianism and Occultism" by Charles W. Leadbeater "The Influence of Alcohol" by Annie Besant "Have Animals Souls? (I-III)" by Helena P. Blavatsky An excerpt from "The Republic" of Plato Excerpts from "Life of Pythagoras" by Iamblichus "Abstinence from Animal Food (I-IV)" by Porphyry "Eating Meat made us None the Smarter" by Sonchis Triacorda
