The Fourfold Vision by F. Sherwood Taylor
A good friend of mine, Rachel John, asked me to republish this book from her personal library as it was out of print. I am publishing it here as a PDF file to fulfil my promise to her.
As I scanned and transcribed this book back into print for Rachel, I really felt the presence of Mr. Sherwood Taylor through his carefully considered words and examples. The book left a profound impression on me and I thought it really insightful regarding the often contrasting ‘Science’ and ‘ART’ .
Rachel, who has now passed on, inherited the authorship of The Penguin Dictionary of Saints from her father, Donald Attwater and was also authoress of The Cornish Book of Saints, amongst others. Here’s a picture of her. I still find myself missing her.
Originally published in 1945, The Fourfold Vision makes a welcome return. Here is the full integration of science and issues of faith from the pen of a master.
Sherwood Taylor has gained great respect for his work on The Alchemist and many other books where scientific investigation meets with matters of belief. He was the first editor of ‘Ambix’ magazine and was Director at the Museum of History of Science in Oxford.
Join him here on a classic journey from the centre of Science and Philosophy to the heart of Art and Nature.
