Description
Wouter Hanegraaff explores the often-misunderstood history of esoteric and occult ideas in Western culture, revealing how they have been rejected by academics and relegated to the fringes of intellectual history.
From the Renaissance to the present day, Hanegraaff examines the complex and often contentious relationship between these 'pagan' ideas and the dominant Christian and rationalist traditions of the time.
Through a meticulous study of primary and secondary sources, Hanegraaff sheds new light on the forgotten history of exclusion, challenging established narratives of religion, philosophy, and science in the process.
