A PRIMER OF HIGHER SPACE (THE FOURTH DIMENSION)

Think of the fourth dimension, not as a new region in space... but as a principle of growth, of change... -from The Fourth Dimension as Time This 1913 treatise on the intersection of the mystical and the mathematical implied by Einsteins 1905 special theory of relativity is now considered a classic of philosophical physics. Claude Bragdon here first proposed the now mathematically commonplace concept of the hypercube, or four-dimensional cube (he incorporated 4-D designs into some of his architectural projects), and explores his radical and provocative ideas about the mathematical structure of the universe. Complete with a gallery of Bragdons gorgeous line drawings illustrating higher space, this is a truly mind-expanding experience. Other works by Bragdon available from Cosimo Classics
