Story in the upcoming years, while Philosophy of ideal one gold seasonal

ΤWhat is Arcadia after all? In what dimensions does it spread, beyond literature, poetry, opera and landscape painting? Is this, on a symbolic level, an endless search that reaches the limits of utopia, or is it a proposal for the future, which includes the timeless Mystery of an inner transformation?

The evocative symbolism of this archetypal region, located in the center of the Heart, is presented as a thin thread between the past and the future. To find its origin, we must go back to the ancient times, to the common roots of science and the spirit, to the prehistoric links between the Matronic Age of prehistory and the roots of the Orphic-Dionysian religion.

The first volume of the History and Philosophy of the Arcadian Idealist, entitled Looking for Arcadia, is the fruit of a spiritual journey, but also an echo of an ancient place. It begins with the first Initiatic Troupe of Arcadists in Kos, continues with the influence of archetypal Arcadia in Alexandria, and concludes with the unknown tradition of Arcadism in Rome.

In this study, with exceptional simplicity and clarity, Yannis Spyropoulos maps the unexplored areas of human consciousness, connecting the deepest meaning of this idea with the historical continuity of a huge movement, upon which European Civilization was founded.
