Miracles, Mystics, Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality

Miracles, Mystics, Mathematicians:Searching for Deep Reality focuses on the lives and writings of some of history’s most influential mathematicians and the impact that their mystical beliefs had on their lives and on their mathematical work. Modern biographers often cleanse the lives of renowned scientists of any hint of mysticism or occultism. Such threads are sometimes regarded as relics of the superstitious past; flaws that need to be hushed up, marginalized, or reinterpreted. This book represents a minor attempt to push back against this tendency and to examine these aspects of the history of mathematics with seriousness and intellectual curiosity.FeaturesA breadth of scope covering many centuriesSuitable for anyone interested in mathematics, history, philosophy, paranormal phenomena, psi-research, mysticism, or in any combination of the aboveAn almost unique account of known histories, examined from a new vantage pointSasho Kalajdzievski is a Senior Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba.
