John Dee was a fascinating figure who lived during the Elizabethan era. He was a mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and alchemist. He was also a spiritualist and a magician. Dee was a complex and controversial figure, but there is no doubt that he was a man of great intellect and ambition.
In his book, John Dee and the Empire of Angels, author Jason Louv explores Dee's life and work. Louv argues that Dee was a pioneer of the modern scientific method and that his work on magic and the occult was a major influence on the development of Western science.
Dee's Early Life and Education
John Dee was born in London in 1527. He was the son of a wealthy merchant and received a classical education at St. John's College, Cambridge. Dee was a brilliant student and quickly mastered the traditional subjects of the day, including mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy.
However, Dee was also interested in subjects that were considered to be outside the mainstream of academic thought. He was fascinated by magic, alchemy, and the occult. Dee believed that there was a hidden world of knowledge that could be accessed through these practices.
Dee's Work on Magic and the Occult
In the 1550s, Dee began to experiment with magic and the occult. He studied the works of the ancient Greek and Roman magicians, as well as the writings of medieval alchemists. Dee also conducted his own experiments, which included attempts to communicate with angels and spirits.
Dee's work on magic and the occult was controversial. Some people believed that he was a dangerous heretic, while others saw him as a visionary who was unlocking the secrets of the universe. Dee's work was also influential on the development of Western science. His experiments with optics and astronomy helped to lay the foundation for the scientific revolution of the 17th century.
Dee's Later Life and Legacy
In the 1580s, Dee became involved in a plot to overthrow the English government. He was arrested and imprisoned, but he was eventually pardoned by Queen Elizabeth I. Dee spent the rest of his life in retirement, writing and lecturing on his work on magic and the occult.
Dee died in 1608. He left behind a vast body of work that has had a profound influence on Western thought. Dee was a pioneer of the modern scientific method and his work on magic and the occult helped to shape the development of Western science.
