Projective Geometry - Creative Polarities in Space and Time - Olive Whicher

'OliveWhicher's groundbreaking book presents an accessible -non-mathematician's - approach to projective geometry. Profuselyillustrated, and written with fire and intuitive genius, this workwill be of interest to anyone wishing to cultivate the power of innervisualization in a realm of structural beauty. Whicher explores theconcepts of polarity and movement in modern projective geometry as adiscipline of thought that transcends the limited and rigid space andforms of Euclid, and the corresponding material forces conceived inclassical mechanics. Rudolf Steiner underlined the importance ofprojective geometry as, 'a method of training the imaginativefaculties of thinking, so that they become an instrument of cognitionno less conscious and exact than mathematical reasoning'. Thisseminal approach allows for precise scientific understanding of theconcept of creative fields of formative (or etheric) forces at workin nature - in plants, animals and in the human being.'
