Hedesan (University of Oxford): ‘The Rise of the Term ‘Adept’ in Esoteric Usage: From Arabic Philosophy to Early Modern Alchemy’ -- Chapter 3: Peter Forshaw (University of Amsterdam): ‘A Necessary Conjunction: Cabala, Magic and Alchemy in the Theosophy of Heinrich Khunrath (1560-1605’ -- Chapter 4: Christopher McIntosh (University of Bremen): ‘The Rosicrucian Diaspora in the Seventeenth Century’ -- Chapter 5: Judith Mawer (University of Exeter): ‘Thomas Vaughan’s Magia Adamica (1650): A Vindication of Magic and Magicians’. Chapter 6: Jonathan Barry (University of Exeter): ‘John Henderson (1757-1788) and the Changing Attitudes to the Occult in Enlightenment England’ -- Chapter 7: Jean-Pierre Brach (Paris-Sorbonne): ‘Psychic Disciplines: The Magnetizer as Magician in the Writings of Jules Dupotet de Sennevoy (1796-1881)’ -- Chapter 8: Tim Rudbøg (University of Copenhagen): ‘H.

Lavoie (Middlesex Community College): ‘Theosophical Chronology in the Writings of Guido von List (1848–1919): A Link between H.P. Blavatsky’s Philosophy and the Nazi Movement’ -- Chapter 10: Antoine Faivre (University of Paris-Sorbonne): ‘On the Various Uses of the Tarot’ -- Chapter 11: Joscelyn Godwin (Colgate University), ‘Afterword’. This collection explores the role of innovation in understanding the history of esotericism. It illustrates how innovation is a mechanism of negotiation whereby an idea is either produced against, or adapted from, an older set of concepts in order to respond to a present context. Featuring contributions from distinguished scholars of esotericism, it covers many different fields and themes including magic, alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, Tarot, apocalypticism and eschatology, Mesmerism, occultism, prophecy, and mysticism. |
