Assembling original contributions, this book is a pioneering
attempt to fill the lacuna of research on the Euro-American
esoteric reception and appropriation of East Asian religious and
philosophical ideas. Chapters encompass research on the early phase
of reception, pertaining to Daoism and the Yijing in the 19th
century’s Euro-American occult milieu, with additional attempts
to locate tropes and patterns even earlier – that is, within the
18th century’s mesmerism and figurism. Chapters also explore the
reception as well as appropriation within the ever broadening
alternative religious spectrum of the 20th and 21st centuries, such
as Traditionalism, the New Age, and the wider holistic milieu
(including the highly popular martial arts current). This book
opens up an under-explored area of research in the subject of
East-West interactions and the global history of religions.
