Sacred Geometry Philosophy and Practice

The proportions that govern the cosmos are the same ones that govern the human body, the temple, and the musical scale. Robert Lawlor shows you why.

Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice is the definitive introduction to the subject — rigorous, illustrated, and grounded in the Platonic and Pythagorean traditions that shaped both ancient architecture and modern mathematics. Lawlor doesn't just describe sacred geometry; he teaches you to construct it, step by step, with compass and straightedge.

Inside:

• The philosophical foundations of number, ratio, and proportion
• Hands-on geometric constructions from the simplest to the complex
• The relationship between geometry, music, cosmology, and the human form
• The Platonic solids, the golden ratio, and the geometry of natural growth
• How sacred geometry was embedded in ancient temples, cathedrals, and art

A working manual and a philosophical text in one. Suitable for the complete beginner and rewarding for the advanced student.
