 Louis-Claude de Saint- Martin, also called "The Unknown Philosopher", is one of the most original spirits of philosophy and spirituality of the eighteenth century. He was born in Amboise on January 18th of 1743, he chooses a military career after he studies law and got the rank of second lieutenant in the infantry regiment of Foix. It's at that time, in Bordeaux, where he lives in Winter, that Saint-Martin meets Martinès de Pasqually and enters the Order of the Elus Cohens.

Both  a simple cobbler and an important German philosopher, Jacob Boehme (1575-1624) remains today one of the giants of Western thought. His originality springs from, among other things, his actual experience of knowledge and his approach to reality, from which he established a system and the idea of the cosmos’s ‘auto-manifestation’. This makes his work, in the eyes of Basarab Nicolescu, extraordinarily modern, creating a profound link between the western tradition and current science.

 The historian, Marie-José Delalande, attempts to give an objective account of the history of the Theosophical movement; a subject often tackled either by its detractors or by its adepts. She returns to the important events of the 19th and 20th century that saw the birth of the Theosophical Society – founded in New York 1875 by Henry Olcott and Helena Blavatsky. These include the explosion of ideas it generated and its spiritualist reviews.

 Antoine Faivre delivers a historical and symbolic analysis of engravings illustrating the work of Jacob Boehme (1575-1624), the ‘Theosophist of Amsterdam” published by Goerg Gichtel. As well as revealing their author (only identified in 2007), the author furnishes an accurate definition of what he means by “Theosophy” and also reviews the subsequent hermetic currents of 17th century Germany it gave birth to.
