Academy of Gondishapur, The. Aristotle on the Way to the Orient MP9465

The Academy of Gondishapur
by Herbert Schoeffler, M.D.
Translated by Harold Jurgens.

Rudolf Steiner often pointed to the powerful influence, right into the present day, of the Academy of Gondishapur. This mysterious institution attracted many of the Greek philosophers after the closing of Plato's Academy in Athens. We still live in the clash of Greek, Arabian and Christian ideas today, in all their dynamic discords, accords and transformations. Dr Schoeffler presents a wealth of social, religious and medical-scientific material that sheds light on many contemporary issues.

Please note: This title was published by Mercury Press in the USA, and unfortunately the translation and its subsequent lack of proof-reading leaves very much to be desired with this publication. We can only hope that the text is edited and reprinted in the future.
