- Abstract
This article reviews the current offering of textbooks and introductions to the academic field of study known as "Western Esotericism". The author argues that the French book "L'ésotérisme" by Antoine Faivre marked the beginning of a more satisfactory update, referred to as "Western Esotericism 2.0", which is still dominant in teaching and research today. However, a critical review of the textbooks and introductions from this second phase reveals structural problems that need to be corrected for the field to reach academic maturity. Therefore, an update to "Western Esotericism 3.0" is necessary to accommodate the needs and perspectives of the next generation of scholars.
