Though modest in size, the book “ The ESOTERIC – the Science of Knowledge and the Knowledge of Science“ is vast in its insights and revelations. Now in its third edition, it stands as the twenty-second book in the Esoteric Science series, authored by Dr. Joseph B. Majdalani (JBM). The book comprises 80 pages of medium format, issued by Friends of the White Knowledge Publications, Beirut, Lebanon.
Like other books in the Esoteric Science series, “The ESOTERIC – the Science of Knowledge and the Knowledge of Science“ sheds light on numerous truths about human knowledge. With a profound yet accessible style, it delineates the journey of humanity toward its existential purpose, tracing the path of return to its origins, thereby fulfilling its fate in attaining perfectness with knowledge.
The book also explains how knowledge was divided into four pillars: philosophies, religions, sciences, and arts. It details the integration of these four pillars, illuminating a radiant and comprehensive image of human knowledge in the mind of the discerning reader. Thus, the seekers of truth perceive what they may have missed and identify what remains to be attained for perfectness.
This book is truly unique, awakening within the seeker of knowledge the essence of the philosopher, the scientist, the devotee, and the artist. It kindles a fervent passion in their heart to draw from the well of knowledge, and to follow its path toward the bliss of its secrets, embarking on an adventure to explore its depths. Dr. Majdalani elucidates the origin of philosophy in its authentic form, tracing its emergence with the dawn of Greek civilization and its great philosophers. He illustrates how philosophy was indeed “the love of wisdom,” as the Greek word “Philo-Sophia” signifies.
The book also elucidates the distinction between the esoteric aspect of knowledge and the exoteric aspect of science, explaining that “science does not develop itself… but rather develops the means by which it apprehends knowledge!” It underscores that truths dwell in the depths of things, not on their surface.
Through this book, Dr. Majdalani offers the threads that guide the seeker toward answers to questions that have perplexed thinkers throughout history. He leads readers to the secrets of the practical application technique of Socrates’ famous dictum, “Know thyself, and you will know everything“.
“The ESOTERIC – the Science of Knowledge and the Knowledge of Science“ is a book brimming with revelations that no reader would want to overlook. For “the Esoteric Science has accustomed us to unveiling something new in all things; it has accustomed us to authenticity in every form of knowledge. It has always guided us to the fountain of pure knowledge to drink from its crystalline source in harmonious logic and profound wisdom.
Yet, its mission does not end there, for it is not merely a collection of theories and abstractions like others. It challenges us to test its teachings, to verify them in our real and practical lives. Esoteric Science is perceptive intuition and analytical intelligence, building concepts on the foundations of lived reality and practical logic.”
The novelty of Esoteric Science lies in “its ability to stimulate thought, and the stimulation of thought is the catalyst for the evolution of science, of culture and of civilization – an elevation in human consciousness that reflects as an ascent in all life affairs.
