Abstract

How was magic practised in medieval times? How did it relate to the diverse beliefs and practices that characterised this fascinating period? In Magic in the Middle Ages Richard Kieckhefer surveys the growth and development of magic in medieval times. He examines its relation to religion, science, philosophy, art, literature and politics before introducing us to the different types of magic that were used, the kinds of people who practised magic and the reasoning behind their beliefs. In addition, he shows how magic served as a point of contact between the popular and elite classes, how the reality of magical beliefs is reflected in the fiction of medieval literature and how the persecution of magic and witchcraft led to changes in the law. This book places magic at the crossroads of medieval culture, shedding light on many other aspects of life in the Middle Ages.

Abstract

Das Jahrhundert der Aufklärung prägt eine ";Dialektik"; von Sehen und Nicht-Sehen weit mehr, als es wirkungsgeschichtliche Verblendung bislang wahrhaben mochte. Der Visionär Swedenborg fasziniert (nicht nur) den jungen Kant, die ";ägyptische"; Freimaurerei Cagliostros feiert Triumphe. Geheimbünde und Geisterseherei gehören ebenso zur Aufklärung wie Mesmers Fehldeutung des ";animalischen Magnetismus";. Mehr als Schiller war Goethe berufen, zwischen Anschauung und Begriff zu vermitteln. Auf satirischen Kupferstichen erkennt er auch als erster die postrevolutionäre Wende Frankreichs.

Abstract

The relationship between Nazism and occultism has been an object of fascination and speculation for decades. Peter Staudenmaier’s Between Occultism and Nazism provides a detailed historical examination centered on the anthroposophist movement founded by Rudolf Steiner. Its surprising findings reveal a remarkable level of Nazi support for Waldorf schools, biodynamic farming, and other anthroposophist initiatives, even as Nazi officials attempted to suppress occult tendencies. The book also includes an analysis of anthroposophist involvement in the racial policies of Fascist Italy. Based on extensive archival research, this study offers rich material on controversial questions about the nature of esoteric spirituality and alternative cultural ideals and their political resonance.

Abstract

"De 1853 à 1855, en exil à Jersey, Victor Hugo se livre quasi quotidiennement à des séances de spiritisme. Il discute avec les esprits les plus illustres, Jésus-Christ, Dante, Molière, Shakespeare, ou les formes les plus abstraites (l'Ombre du sépulcre, le Drame ou l'Idée). Les séances sont consignées sur des procès-verbaux qui serviront à établir Le Livre des Tables dont Hugo envisageait une publication posthume. Quatre cahiers manuscrits forment Le Livre des Tables ; seuls deux d'entre eux nous sont parvenus, dont un inédit" --
