In this concise and richly-illustrated work, Olive Whicher introduces an exciting new science of living forms and processes, based on the pioneering work of Rudolf Steiner and his pupil George Adams. In order to understand fully the laws of living nature, she argues, it is necessary to overcome the one-sided ideas of modern science -- ideas which are only adequate when describing material forms and forces. We should widen our thinking to include the "etheric formative forces" alive in ethereal space (or "counterspace") -- which work in plants, for example, by drawing matter upwards in a suctional way. Such forces manifest in a way entirely opposite to those of gravity, which draw downwards, and the forces of explosion, which hurl upward and outward.Readers will find in this book an elementary introduction to a radical new science of living organisms.

<p>Whicher explores the concepts of polarity and movement in modern projective geometry as a discipline of thought that transcends the limited and rigid space and forms of Euclid, and the corresponding material forces conceived in classical mechanics. Rudolf Steiner underlined the importance of projective geometry as, "a method of training the imaginative faculties of thinking, so that they become an instrument of cognition no less conscious and exact than mathematical reasoning." This seminal approach allows for precise scientific understanding of the concept of creative fields of formative (etheric) forces at work in nature―in plants, animals and in the human being.<br><br>Olive Whicher's groundbreaking book presents an accessible―non-mathematician's―approach to projective geometry. Profusely illustrated, and written with fire and intuitive genius, this work will be of interest to anyone wishing to cultivate the power of inner visualization in a realm of structural beauty.</p>

In this concise and richly-illustrated work, Olive Whicher introduces a radical new science of living organisms, forms and processes, based on the pioneering work of Rudolf Steiner and his pupil George Adams. If we are to understand fully the laws of living nature, she argues, it is necessary to overcome the one-sided ideas of modern science – ideas that are only adequate to describe material forms and forces. We need to widen our thinking to include the ‘etheric formative forces’ – forces that are alive in ethereal space or ‘counterspace’. Such forces work in plants, for example, by drawing matter upwards in a suctional manner, in contrast to the forces of gravity, which draw downwards, and the forces of an explosion, which work upward and outward. This easily-digestible introduction will be valuable to anybody seeking to comprehend the living world around us.
