- Title
Entwicklungstendenzen des Okkulten: Wiederkehr des Verdrängten oder funktionale Differenzierung?
- Authors
Wohlrab-Sahr, Monika
- Abstract
The article discusses the history of occultism from the perspective of the sociology of knowledge and the philosophy of science. The author highlights the challenges inherent in studying the history of a branch of science that has been deemed not normal and unscientific by mainstream academic discourse and scholarship. Topics considered include the relationship of the occult to art, religion and spirituality, and entertainment, as well as the broader social implications of occultism in modern societies.
