| Summary: | This essay explores the evolution of spiritualist thought in Caspar Schwenckfeld (1489-1561), Valentine Weigel (1533-1588), and Jacob Bohme (1575-1624). It describes how their theories of knowledge and their modes of investigation remained the same but the subjects of their studies changed. Schwenckfeld's concerns were how to attain salvation in a comprehensible cosmos. Bohme living in the incomprehensible world of the new sciences, tried to understand the cosmos and man's and God's place in this cosmos. |
