Spirituality and the Occult Summary
| Argues against the view that occult spiritualities are marginal to Western culture. Shows that the influence of the esoteric tradition is neglected and that much of what we take to be 'modern' derives, at least in part, from this. |

|
| Gibbons explores the continued presence of esoteric mystical movements in western culture and its relevance to the history of medicine, science, philosophy, Freudian and Jungian psychology, radical political movements and imaginative literature. He emphasizes the secularization of occult spiritualities in the Romantic movement and beyond, stressing the social role of occult faiths as counter-culture and illuminating the influential role of the occult in much of what its taken to be typically "modern." |
