Mysticism and esotericism are two intimately related strands of the
Western tradition. Despite their close connections, however,
scholars tend to treat them separately. Whereas the study of
Western mysticism enjoys a long and established history, Western
esotericism is a young field. The Cambridge Handbook of Western
Mysticism and Esotericism examines both of these traditions
together. The volume demonstrates that the roots of esotericism
almost always lead back to mystical traditions, while the work of
mystics was bound up with esoteric or occult preoccupations. It
also shows why mysticism and esotericism must be examined together
if either is to be understood fully. Including contributions by
leading scholars, this volume features essays on such topics as
alchemy, astrology, magic, Neoplatonism, Kabbalism, Renaissance
Hermetism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, numerology, Christian
theosophy, spiritualism, and much more. This Handbook serves as
both a capstone of contemporary scholarship and a cornerstone of
future research.
