In this episode we welcome Eric Purdue to the Hadean Podcast.
Eric is the translator of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s, ‘Three Books of Occult Philosophy’, a landmark text in the history of European Natural Philosophy, a subject which Eric assures me includes both Astrology and Magic.
Woven together from a panoply of contemporary, medieval, Arabic and Hellenic sources, Agrippa produced a masterpiece of Renaissance philosophy, much maligned by centres of learning in the centuries since its first publication as superstition and debased necromancy. It is only in the modern era where we find Agrippa finally being understood and appreciated for the sheer genius of his contribution to the study and practice of the European tradition of Philosophy, and we find Magic presented as an integral aspect of Agrippa’s Catholic faith being given the dues it is worthy of by modern scholars.
