Hildegard in a Nutshell (Philosophers of the Spirit) - Softcover

A 12th-century German mystic and philosopher, Hildegard is being rediscovered as a musical composer and as a prophet of the environmental movement. In her visions, she saw God in all living things—she believed that human beings can only find inner peace if they recognize their spiritual unity with animals and plants. Today, Hildegard's insights into the human psyche seem remarkably modern.
