ISBN: 9780521196215 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Academics tend to look on 'esoteric', 'occult' or 'magical' beliefs with contempt, but are usually ignorant about the religious and philosophical traditions to which these terms refer, or their relevance to intellectual history.

Expelled from the academy on the basis of Protestant and Enlightenment polemics, these traditions have come to be perceived as...

The contributors to this book demonstrate this perspective as fundamental to a variety of interconnected traditions. In Antiquity,...
