Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:When Aldous Huxley was sixteen years old he was stricken with a serious eye disease which left him, after many months of near-blindness with severely defective vision. Many years later, he discovered the method of visual re-education invented by Dr Bates, an American oculist. It was a discovery that revolutionised Huxley's life.
Within two months he was reading without spectacles and subsequently his vision continued to improve dramatically. In 'The Art of Seeing', Huxley not only describes the eye exercises of the Bates method (still in use today), but also explores the philosophical foundations of its effectiveness.
First published in 1943, 'The Art of Seeing' was a challenge to the scientific orthodoxy of the day.
Bates' theory of the close relationship between mental well-being and clarity of vision found the perfect champion in Huxley, whose subsequent works reflected his increasing preoccupation with the unexplored powers of the mind. A passionate argument for self-healing affording remarkable insights into Huxley' s intellectual spirit, 'The Art of Seeing' is a curious and remarkable book.
"Huxley has put so much of his personality and individual style into this book that it should interest everybody, whatever the condition of their sight."
LITERARY REVIEW
"Huxley's 'The Art of Seeing' will arouse the liveliest interest, not only among readers who are anxious to avoid, or to give up, the discomfort and nuisance of spectacles, but also among those for whom the story of how a man threatened with blindness recovered his sight has a peculiar poignancy."
