Of Cosmogonic Eros by Ludwig Klages is one of the great metaphysical works on Eros as a world-shaping power. In this visionary monograph, Klages restores Eros to its elemental and daemonic dignity: not as sentiment, romance, or mere desire, but as a force of ecstasy, intoxication, cosmic participation, and transformation.
Highly sought after since its first Theion edition sold out, this revised second edition is the only authorized English translation of
Of Cosmogonic Eros and the definitive edition for English-speaking readers. Prepared in collaboration with Professor Paul Bishop of the University of Glasgow, it combines a carefully established translation with substantial scholarly context and translated selections from Alfred Schuler’s esoteric talks on the Telesmatic Light, illuminating the wider visionary world from which Klages’ work emerged.
