'[Lachman's] views are set out lucidly, engagingly, tentatively and accompanied by a cloud of illustrious witnesses from the Hermetic tradition and the the Kabbalah, to Blake and Goethe through to Berdyaev and Cassirer (amongst many others).' -- Nicholas Colloff, Golgonooza blog. Zusammenfassung Drawing on esoteric, spritual and philosophical thought, this book considers the all-important question -- why are we here? -- and offers a counter-argument to the current nihilsm prevalent in our world.
