| الملخص: | This book examines key actors and themes in the Euro-American esoteric reception history of East Asia. It traces how Western occultists and esotericists have engaged with East Asia, appropriating textual icons such as the Daodejing and Yijing , or figures such as Fuxi, Laozi, and Confucius, into their perennialist cosmos. The resulting amalgam of globally negotiated tropes, or "Occult East Asia," has co-shaped the imagery and appreciation of East Asia in a range of discourses that extend far beyond alternative religious circles. |
