Few fields of academic research are surrounded by so many
misunderstandings and misconceptions as the study of Western
esotericism. For twenty years now, the Centre for History of
Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents (University of Amsterdam)
has been at the forefront of international scholarship in this
domain. This anniversary volume seeks to make the modern study of
Western esotericism known beyond specialist circles, while
addressing a range of misconceptions, biases, and prejudices that
still tend to surround it. Thirty major scholars in the field
respond to questions about a wide range of unfamiliar ideas,
traditions, practices, problems, and personalities that are central
to this area of research. By challenging many taken-for-granted
assumptions about religion, science, philosophy, and the arts, this
volume demonstrates why the academic study of esotericism leads us
to reconsider much that we thought we knew about the story of
Western culture.
