Synopsis

In The Meaning and Philosophy of Numbers, Leonard Bosman states that "numbers are symbols of the beginning and development of the universe, of a solar system, or a series of such, or, indeed, of any rhythmic movement. The terms with which we have to deal in considering the science of numbers are figures, symbols, ciphers, arithmetic, and mathematics."

Displaying an impressive knowledge of linguistics, philosophers, and mystics, Bosman brings forth the root words, symbols, and ideas that express the numbers and explains each one's role in the movement of creation. This work will help readers understand the fundamental reason for numbers and "know exactly why any particular number used in the science of Numerology means what it is said to mean by the professors of the art who merely affirm, but never explain." The scope of Bosman's study goes beyond a useful application of Numerology to serve students of Kabbalah and divination.

An exploration of numbers 1 through 10, through symbol, language, and mystical tradition.

About this title

Synopsis:

Bosman states that 'numbers are symbols of the beginning and development of the universe, of a solar system, or a series of such, or, indeed, of any rhythmic movement. The terms with which we have to deal in considering the science of numbers are figures, symbols, ciphers, arithmetic and mathematics,' which is precisely what he does throughout this book. Displaying an impressive knowledge of linguistics, philosophers and mystics, he brings forth the root words, symbols and ideas that express numbers and explains each one's role in the movement of creation. This work will help readers understand the fundamental reason for numbers and, thus they 'will know exactly why any particular number used in the science of Numerology means what it is said to mean by the professors of the art who merely affirm, but never explain.' The scope of Bosman's study goes beyond a useful application in numerology to serve students of Kabbalah and divination.
