Von Stuckrad. 330 $aIn its historical development from late antiquity to the present, western esotericism has repeatedly been the issue of polemical discourse. This volume engages the polemical structures that underlie both the identities within and the controversy about esoteric currents in European history. From Jewish and Christian kabbalah through heretical discourse and interconfessional polemics in early modernity to the legitimization of esoteric identity in modern culture, the 12 chapters, accompanied by an editors? introduction, provide a cornucopia of relevant cases that are interpreted in a framework of polemical discourse and ?Othering?. This volume sheds new light on the ultimately polemical structure of western esotericism and thus opens new vistas for further research into esoteric discourse. 410 0$aAries book series ;$vv. 6. 606 $aOccultism$xHistory 615 0$aOccultism$xHistory. 676 $a130.9 701 $aHammer$b Olav$01496913 701 $aStuckrad$b Kocku von$f1966-$0601355 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778516203321 996 $aPolemical encounters$93864760 997 $aUNINA
