Etymology
The term 'theosophic' is derived from the Greek words 'theos,' meaning 'god,' and 'sophia,' meaning 'wisdom.' This etymology reflects the core tenets of theosophy, which are centered around the pursuit of divine wisdom and knowledge. Theosophy began to take shape as a distinct philosophical movement in the late 19th century, particularly with the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and William Quan Judge. The society aimed to promote a synthesis of science, religion, and philosophy, emphasizing the unity of all life and the importance of spiritual development. Over the years, the terms 'theosophy' and 'theosophic' have come to encompass a wide range of beliefs and practices centered on esoteric spirituality, exploring connections between various religious traditions and the inner dimensions of human experience.
