Abstract

This research analyzes the meaning of the word “theosophy” understanding this, in general terms, like a “divine knowledge”, a term used to compile the basic and common knowledge in differing positive religions from within the West and the East. This also presents the way in which the mentioned doctrine was a blend of different famous philosophical systems and conventional science thus creating a kind of eclectic posture which opposes the prevailing logical positivism. Also, since of the perspective of the theosophist Jinarajadasa made a detailed analysis of the fundamental theosophical principles, which comes from the remote antiquity until the present.
