In this comprehensive  compendium of our knowledge of the three great realms of organic  nature, he outlines the significance of the sub-conscious, social  awareness and theological orientation in the spiritual life of man,  and indicates how fate, fortune, and Providence interrelate within his  conception of the Deity. \u003cbr\u003e  In the \u003cem\u003eNemesis Divina\u003c\/em\u003e this general undertaking is developed into  an `experimental theology', which is exactly analogous to Linnaeus'  work in the natural sciences, in that it involves the collecting and  classifying of concrete and carefully described case-studies. He never  prepared the manuscript for publication, however, and for many years  it was regarded as lost, and it is only very recently that any attempt  has been made to publish it in its entirety. \u003cbr\u003e  This is the first English translation of all the relevant manuscript  material. It is also the first attempt to analyse the case-studies in  the light of what we know of Linnaeus' general taxonomic principles,  and to relate each of them to its historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792368205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2398-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 486.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378883387532,"sku":"9780792368205","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792368205_093bc8de-331a-47ec-804c-d671acb81d93.jpg?v=1765470605","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792368205","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
