This interpretation caused important roots in occult-esoteric traditions to be repressed.This process of "purification" (Latour) is not to be equated with the origin of the academic studies. De facto, the elimination of idealistic theories took time and only happened later. One example concerning the early entanglement is Tibetology, where many researchers and respected chair holders were influenced by theosophical ideas or were even members of the Theosophical Society. Similarly, the emergence of comparatistics cannot be understood without taking into account perennialist ideas of esoteric provenance, which hold that all religions have a common origin.In this perspective, it is not only the history of religious studies which must be revisited, but also the partial shaping of religious studies by these traditions, insofar as it saw itself as a counter-model to occult ideas. 410 0$aOkkulte Moderne 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aOccultism, history of academia, history of science. 615 7$aHISTORY / General. 676 $a200.710904 700 $aZander$b Helmut$4edt$01371825 702 $aBernard$b Léo, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBöhme$b Sabine, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCyranka$b Daniel, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFrenschkowski$b Marco, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHuss$b Boaz, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMühlematter$b Yves, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMühlematter$b Yves, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSarmis$b Dilek, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchlieter$b Jens, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aStrube$b Julian, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aZander$b Helmut, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aZander$b Helmut, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aSchweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493741203321 996 $aOccult Roots of Religious Studies$93401474 997 $aUNINA
