Symbols of the Kabbalah: Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives

"Symbols of the Kabbalah provides a philosophical and psychological interpretation of the major symbols of the theosophical Kabbalah. It shows that the Kabbalah, particularly as it is expressed in the school of Isaac Luria, provides a coherent and comprehensive account of the cosmos, and humanity's role within it, that is intellectually, morally, and spiritually significant for contemporary life."--Jacket.
