| 520 | |a 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.
