It contains a history of the creation and development of the chair, followed by articles on aspects of Western esotericism by the previous and current staff members, contributions by students and Ph.D. students about the study program, and reflections by international top specialists about the field of research and its academic development. 606 $aHermetism 606 $aOccultism 615 0$aHermetism. 615 0$aOccultism. 676 $a135.45 700 $aHanegraaff$b Wouter J$01522352 702 $aHanegraaff$b Wouter J. 702 $aPijnenburg$b Joyce 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778426803321 996 $aHermes in the academy$93816524 997 $aUNINA
