THEOSOPHY

For Rosmini theosophy is a philosophical science consisting of the

three disciplines of ontology, natural theology and cosmology. The

study of ontology is a philosophical discipline which must, by definition,

include all being and therefore supreme Being, but Rosmini's

theosophy is far removed from any philosophical and quasi-religious

system seeking direct experience or intuition of God. The

term 'theosophy' (meaning wisdom concerning God and divine

things) was used in a philosophical sense long before the late 19th

century when 'theosophical' societies and movements were

founded.
