Western esotericism, also known as esotericism, esoterism, and sometimes the Western mystery
|
9858_1
|
tradition, is a term scholars use to categorise a wide range of loosely related ideas and movements
|
9858_2
|
that developed within Western society. These ideas and currents are united since they are largely
|
9858_3
|
distinct both from orthodox Judeo-Christian religion and Enlightenment rationalism. Esotericism has
|
9858_4
|
pervaded various forms of Western philosophy, religion, pseudoscience, art, literature, and
|
9858_5
|
music—and continues to influence intellectual ideas and popular culture.
|
9858_6
|
The idea of grouping a wide range of Western traditions and philosophies together under the term
|
9858_7
|
esotericism developed in Europe during the late seventeenth century. Various academics have debated
|
9858_8
|
various definitions of Western esotericism. One view adopts a definition from certain esotericist
|
9858_9
|
schools of thought themselves, treating "esotericism" as a perennial hidden inner tradition. A
|
9858_10
|
second perspective sees esotericism as a category of movements that embrace an "enchanted"
|
9858_11
|
world-view in the face of increasing disenchantment. A third views Western esotericism as
|
9858_12
|
encompassing all of Western culture's "rejected knowledge" that is accepted neither by the
|
9858_13
|
scientific establishment nor orthodox religious authorities.
|
9858_14
|
The earliest traditions that later analysis labeled as forms of Western esotericism emerged in the
|
9858_15
|
Eastern Mediterranean during Late Antiquity, where Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism
|
9858_16
|
developed as schools of thought distinct from what became mainstream Christianity. Renaissance
|
9858_17
|
Europe saw increasing interest in many of these older ideas, with various intellectuals combining
|
9858_18
|
"pagan" philosophies with the Kabbalah and Christian philosophy, resulting in the emergence of
|
9858_19
|
esoteric movements like Christian theosophy. The seventeenth century saw the development of
|
9858_20
|
initiatory societies professing esoteric knowledge such as Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, while
|
9858_21
|
the Age of Enlightenment of the eighteenth century led to the development of new forms of esoteric
|
9858_22
|
thought. The nineteenth century saw the emergence of new trends of esoteric thought now known as
|
9858_23
|
occultism. Prominent groups in this century included the Theosophical Society and the Hermetic
|
9858_24
|
Order of the Golden Dawn. Also important in this connexion is Martinus´ "Spiritual Science". Modern
|
9858_25
|
Paganism developed within occultism, and includes religious movements such as Wicca. Esoteric ideas
|
9858_26
|
permeated the counterculture of the 1960s and later cultural tendencies, which led to the New Age
|
9858_27
|
phenomenon in the 1970s.
|
9858_28
|
The idea that these varying movements could be categorised together under the rubric of "Western
|
9858_29
|
esotericism" developed in the late eighteenth century, but these esoteric currents were largely
|
9858_30
|
ignored as a subject of academic enquiry. The academic study of Western esotericism only emerged in
|
9858_31
|
the late twentieth-century, pioneered by scholars like Frances Yates and Antoine Faivre. Esoteric
|
9858_32
|
ideas have meanwhile also exerted an influence in popular culture, appearing in art, literature,
|
9858_33
|
film, and music.
|

Etymology
The concept of the "esoteric" originated in the 2nd century
|
9858_35
|
with the coining of the Ancient Greek adjective esôterikós ("belonging to an inner circle"); the
|
9858_36
|
earliest known example of the word appeared in a satire authored by Lucian of Samosata ( 125 –
|
9858_37
|
after 180).
|
9858_38
|
The noun "esotericism", in its French form "ésotérisme", first appeared in 1828 in the work by
|
9858_39
|
protestant historian of gnosticism (1791–1864), Histoire critique du gnosticisme (3 vols.).
|
9858_40
|
The term "esotericism" thus came into use in the wake of the Age of Enlightenment and of its
|
9858_41
|
critique of institutionalised religion, during which alternative religious groups began to
|
9858_42
|
disassociate themselves from the dominant Christianity in Western Europe. During the nineteenth and
|
9858_43
|
twentieth centuries, scholars increasingly saw the term "esotericism" as meaning something distinct
|
9858_44
|
from Christianity—as a subculture at odds with the Christian mainstream from at least the time of
|
9858_45
|
the Renaissance. The French occultist and ceremonial magician Eliphas Lévi (1810–1875) popularized
|
9858_46
|
the term in the 1850s, and Theosophist Alfred Percy Sinnett (1840–1921) introduced it into the
|
9858_47
|
English language in his book Esoteric Buddhism (1883). Lévi also introduced the term l'occultisme,
|
9858_48
|
a notion that he developed against the background of contemporary socialist and Catholic
|
9858_49
|
discourses. "Esotericism" and "occultism" were often employed as synonyms until later scholars
|
9858_50
|
distinguished the concepts.
|
9858_51
|
Conceptual development
|
9858_52
|
The concept of "Western esotericism" represents a modern scholarly construct rather than a
|
9858_53
|
pre-existing, self-defined tradition of thought. In the late seventeenth century, several European
|
9858_54
|
Christian thinkers presented the argument that one could categorise certain traditions of Western
|
9858_55
|
philosophy and thought together, thus establishing the category now labelled "Western esotericism".
|
9858_56
|
The first to do so, (1659–1698), a German Lutheran theologian, wrote Platonisch-Hermetisches
|
9858_57
|
Christianity (1690–91). A hostile critic of various currents of Western thought that had emerged
|
9858_58
|
since the Renaissance—among them Paracelsianism, Weigelianism, and Christian theosophy—in his book
|
9858_59
|
he labelled all of these traditions under the category of "Platonic–Hermetic Christianity",
|
9858_60
|
portraying them as heretical to what he saw as "true" Christianity. Despite his hostile attitude
|
9858_61
|
toward these traditions of thought, Colberg became the first to connect these disparate
|
9858_62
|
philosophies and to study them under one rubric, also recognising that these ideas linked back to
|
9858_63
|
earlier philosophies from late antiquity.
|
9858_64
|
In Europe during the eighteenth century, amid the Age of Enlightenment, these esoteric traditions
|
9858_65
|
came to be regularly categorised under the labels of "superstition", "magic", and "the occult" -
|
9858_66
|
terms often used interchangeably. The modern academy, then in the process of developing,
|
9858_67
|
consistently rejected and ignored topics coming under "the occult", thus leaving research into them
|
9858_68
|
largely to enthusiasts outside of academia. Indeed, according to historian of esotericism Wouter J.
|
9858_69
|
Hanegraaff (born 1961), rejection of "occult" topics was seen as a "crucial identity marker" for
|
9858_70
|
any intellectuals seeking to affiliate themselves with the academy.
|
9858_71
|
Scholars established this category in the late 18th century after identifying "structural
|
9858_72
|
similarities" between "the ideas and world views of a wide variety of thinkers and movements" that,
