"The Logic Against Humanity is considered by many to be MassimoScaligero's most important work. It examines the difficulties faced bymodern-day philosophers and scientists who employ ""discursive"" thinking to explainthe mystery of human existence. ""Discursive"" thinking, which accounts for theinherent limitations of rationalism and scientific presumptions, is viewed byScaligero as a form of mental disorder, widely prevalent in today's culture. Indeed, he shows how members of the scientific community and academia--unaware of theeffect of thinking's adherence to bodily forces--are often themselves inadvertentdiffusers of the mental disorder that they seek to analyze in their research.

In the first half of the book, ""The Myth ofScience,"" Scaligero discusses numerous topics, including ways in which the worksof Freud and Jung have led to the elimination of the ""sacred"" through the ""sacralization""of the unconscious.

In the second half ofthe book, "" The Path ofThinking,"" the author contends that, to remedy problems of modern thinking, wemust cultivate the perception ofthe ""being"" of thinking--a perception that has eluded many thinkers, fromHegel to Krishnamurti, who were unable to liberate their thinking effectively from""discursiveness."" Massimo Scaligeroinsists that a ""science of thinking"" must be engendered within humanity--thinkingthat transcends the limits of conceptual elaboration--a science enlivened continuouslyby the living being from which it arises. In helping us toward this end, Scaligero elucidates a path based on ""the techniques of concentration,"" ultimatelynecessary to the realization of the ""I AM."""

Massimo Scaligero (1906-1980) was born Antonio Scabelloni in Veroli (Frosinone), Italy. He was a contemporary Italian spiritual master who drank deeply from both Western and Eastern traditions. By direct experience, he was equally at home with Western philosophy and psychology, Western esotericism (Rosicrucianism, Templarism, and Anthroposophy) and Eastern meditative practices (Zen and Tibetan Buddhism). He was the author of numerous books, including (in Italian, untranslated): The Way of the Solar Will; Immortal Love; Yoga, Meditation, Magic; From Yoga to the Rose Cross; Practical Manual of Meditation; The Logos and the New Mysteries; Psychotherapy; Techniques of Inner Concentration; Healing with Thinking; Meditation and Miracles; Thinking as Antimaterialism; Western Kundalini; Isis Sophia; and Zen and Logos. Eric Bisbocci has traveled to more than eighty countries in his life, experiencing their cultures and spiritual manifestations. As well as having studied Anthroposophy for more than thirty-five years, he received an advanced degree in Romance Languages with a focus on Italian literature. He has translated several books by the Italian anthroposophist, Massimo Scaligero. His first book is on the esoteric nature of Dante's Divine Comedy and its relationship to Anthroposophy and reflects his lifelong passion for Dantean thought.
