Szo?nyi presents an analysis of Renaissance occultism and its place in the chronology of European cultural history. Culling examples of "magical thinking" from classical, medieval, and Renaissance philosophers, Szo?nyi revisits the body of Dee's own scientific and spiritual writings as reflective sources of traditional mysticism. Exploring the intellectual foundations of magic, Szo?nyi focuses on the ideology of exaltatio, the glorification or deification of man. He argues that it was the desire for exaltatio that framed and tied together the otherwise varied thoughts and activities of John Dee as well. 410 0$aSUNY series in Western esoteric traditions. 606 $aSymbolism 606 $aMagic$xHistory 606 $aOccultism$xHistory 606 $aRenaissance 615 0$aSymbolism. 615 0$aMagic$xHistory. 615 0$aOccultism$xHistory. 615 0$aRenaissance. 676 $a133/.092 700 $aSzonyi$b Gyorgy Endre$01639879 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807255203321 996 $aJohn Dee's occultism$93983168 997 $aUNINA
