| 520 | _a"A History of Magic and Experimental Science, Volume 1" by Lynn Thorndike is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution and interrelationship of magic and experimental science during the first thirteen centuries of our era, particularly focusing on their influence on Christian thought. It aims to illuminate the development of these fields, highlighting their complex ties to cultural and religious practices. The opening of the text sets the foundation for a comprehensive exploration of magic and experimental science, articulating the author's intent to define magic broadly, encompassing occult arts and superstitions. Thorndike emphasizes the significance of understanding magic within the context of historical thought and elaborates on its origins, notably in ancient cultures such as Egypt and Babylon. He suggests that exploring both magic and science together provides a richer understanding of their historical contexts and impact. The introductory chapter lays out the book's scope and methodology, outlining the key themes that will be examined in subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
