Tantra is a heterodox system of worship that often evokes a mixture of awe and fear in the public imagination, frequently associated with the mysteries of black magic and sorcery. In this insightful work, the author examines tantra through a structural lens, maintaining a neutral and academic perspective. By analyzing the underlying logic of these traditions, the book suggests that tantra reveals a prelogical and premathematical mindset, offering unique and valuable insights into the broader trajectory of human development and spiritual evolution.
