Eureka

Exploring the interplay of science and spirituality, this work presents a universe shaped by the laws of attraction and repulsion, challenging traditional views of divinity. Poe critiques the Old Testament's vengeful God and the Deist's clockmaker, instead proposing a pantheistic World Spirit that connects all beings. He posits that humanity is intrinsically linked to this universal spirit, suggesting each individual embodies a divine essence. Published posthumously, it stands apart from his more famous tales, offering a profound philosophical perspective.
