One characteristic of European history of religion is a two-fold pluralism—a pluralism of religious identities on the one hand, and a pluralism of various societal systems that interact with religious systems on the other. Addressing discourses of perfect knowledge in Western culture between 1200 and 1800, this book integrates the study of Western esotericism in a larger analytical framework of European history of religion. Viewed from a structuralist perspective, ‘esoteric discourse’ provides an analytical framework that helps to reveal genealogies of modern identities in a pluralistic competition of knowledge. Experiential philosophy, kabbalah, astrology, Hermeticism, philology, and early modern science are linked to knowledge claims that shaped the way in which Western culture defined itself.

Von den Wissenschaften weitgehend vergessen, doch allgegenwärtig in der heutigen Kultur: Die Seele. Wie ist dieser "Seelenverlust" zu erklären, und wie kommt es, dass die Seele heute wieder so populär ist? Das Buch erzählt die faszinierende Geschichte der Seele im 20. Jahrhundert aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Sicht. Zu Beginn des Jahrhunderts fester Bestandteil kultureller Debatten zwischen Psychologie, Philosophie, Religionswissenschaft, Literatur und Politik, erfuhr die Seele nach 1950 einen großen Aufschwung außerhalb der Universitäten und wurde zum zentralen Bezugspunkt populärer Kultur - von alternativen Therapieformen bis hin zu Literatur, Film, neuen spirituellen Bewegungen sowie ökologischen und politischen Programmen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass Seelenkonzepte wichtige Träger von Religion in einer nur scheinbar säkularisierten Moderne sind.
