Divination

""Divination"" is a philosophical and historical exploration of the practice of divination, written by Alexander Balmain Bruce. The book delves into the various forms of divination, including astrology, necromancy, and the use of oracles, and examines their historical and cultural significance. Bruce argues that divination has played an important role in human history, as a means of seeking guidance and understanding from the divine. He also explores the relationship between divination and religion, and the ways in which divination has been both embraced and condemned by various religious traditions. Throughout the book, Bruce draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, folklore, and personal anecdotes, to paint a rich and nuanced portrait of this fascinating and complex subject. Ultimately, ""Divination"" offers readers a thought-provoking and insightful look at one of humanity's oldest and most enduring practices.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Moral Order of the World in Ancient and Modern Thought, by Alexander Balmain Bruce.
