This is the first modern study of Agrippa's occult philosophy as a
coherent part of his intellectual work. By demonstrating his
sophistication, it challenges traditional interpretations of
Agrippa as an intellectual dilettante, and uses modern theory and
philosophy to elucidate the intricacies of his thought. It also
argues for a new, interdisciplinary approach to magic and its place
within early modern culture, using a transhistorical conversational
model to understand and interpret the texts. The analysis walks the
reader through the text of "De occulta philosophia," Agrippa's 1533
masterpiece, explicating the often hidden structure and argument of
the work. This volume will especially interest early modern
intellectual historians, historians of religions, and scholars
interested in the history of linguistic philosophy.
