Etymology
The term 'theosophist' is derived from the word 'Theosophy,' which comes from the Greek words 'theos' meaning 'god' and 'sophia' meaning 'wisdom.' The movement began in the late 19th century with the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and William Quan Judge. Theosophy aims to explore the mysteries of existence and advocate for universal brotherhood, promoting the idea that all religious traditions contain elements of truth. Through its teachings, Theosophy encourages a deeper understanding of spiritual realities and the interconnectedness of all beings. Theosophists have historically been involved in discussions about metaphysics, spirituality, and social reform, influencing various movements in modern spirituality and New Age thinking.
