When the term was coined in the 19th century, all esoteric approaches-movements delving into the mysteries of life, the world, and God-were brought together under a single term. At that time the \"twin sisters\" of esotericism and occultism underwent a kind of paroxysm, which until recently cast a shadow over the true meaning of esotericism. It was especially René Guénon (featured in this book) who in the early 20th century worked to distinguish these two. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the last few decades, a great deal of academic work has been done on all forms of esotericism, from ancestral megalithism to modern philosophical gnosticism. But this historicist approach needs to be complemented by assessments and value judgments, and we need to know from what point of view these judgments are being made. Bruno Bérard's interlocutor, Aldo La Fata, whose intimacy with Catholicism is neither occult nor excessively overt, offers the immense advantage of the kind of point of view sought for here. We will forget history then-\"historicist history\" at any rate-as well as esotericism as such, and instead seek through these conversations to perceive the presence of the esoteric hidden within the world and in the human heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 20, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378475614457,"sku":"9798892801225","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Mt4mPzD1wW9798892801225.webp?v=1770046202","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/esotericism-for-everyone-interviews-with-aldo-la-fata-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
