Abstract:
Esoterismens förekomst i konst- och kulturlivet i Sverige är särskilt utmärkande under sekelskiftet. Fenomenet har tidigare funnits i samhället men genom lagstiftningar marginaliserats till det övre samhällsskiktet och därmed förbjöds allmänheten från sådana praktiker. Esoteriska praktiker och idéer om verkligheten kan däremot spåras i modernismens konstnärliga rörelser som symbolism och abstrakt konst. Hilma af Klint var en av de konstnärerna som praktiserade esoterism och förmedlade dess ideologier i sina verk. Uppsatsens syfte är att lyfta fram fenomenet i konst under sekelskiftet och stude

Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka en esoterisk bildtradition som en separat bildvetenskap utifrån en diskursanalytisk metod. Frågan ställs hur denna bilddiskurs formerats, om vi kan identifiera en särskild estetik och hur vår bild av den har tillkommit. Uppsatsen undersöker här omgivande narrativ och utsagor. Vidare undersöks samtidskonstens intresse för den esoteriska bildtraditionen där historiska material aktualiseras i nya kontexter, men även dess intresse för aktualisering av en historisk estetik i nya verk.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the science, the philosophy and the esoteric imagination of the American physicist David Bohm (1917-1992). Bohm is recognized as one of the most brilliant physicists of his generation. He is famous for his ‘hidden variables’ interpretation of quantum mechanics. Bohm wrote extensively on philosophical and psychological subjects. In his celebrated book Wholeness and the Implicate Order (1882) he introduced the influential ideas of the Explicate and the Implicate orders that are at the core of his process philosophy. Bohm was also a very close

Abstract:
An esoteric programming language is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, or as a joke, for example: Lolcode is designed to resemble the speech of lolcats. The following is the “hello world” example: in all lolcode programs, hai (“Hi!”) introduces the program. In many programming languages, one of the first statements will be a library inclusion for common functions such as input and output.

Abstract:
Religion has a spiritual message embedded, as its purpose is to establish a relationship between the seen and the unseen worlds. However, to allow people to understand its spiritual message, it uses symbolism in such a way that the physical person would try to comprehend the inner meanings of the spiritual message that lies therein. This study is not about ‘how' the Hajj rituals are to be performed, because the answer to that question is trivial and have been thoroughly studied throughout centuries.

Abstract:
During her lifetime, the modernist novels and short stories of Mary Butts (1890 1937) were championed by luminaries such as Bryher and Ezra Pound. Thereafter her work fell into neglect. Since 1984 Butts has been the subject of renewed critical interest which has gathered pace over the last decade. Still, much of her oeuvre is yet to receive sustained attention, and scholars are divided over whether Butts' sacral modernism should be championed as a harbinger of liberatory subjectivities or denounced as validating a racial nationalism.

The word Mercurius hardly features in contemporary works and biographies on Jung. In contrast a study of primary writings indicates that this phenomenon traverses, in a significant way, Jung's life and works. A qualitative study also reveals the great significance of this phenomenon for Jung. Accordingly, the present study claims to have identified neglect of this figure in post-Jungian writing and scholarship. It therefore endeavours both to clarify Jung's experience and portrayal of this phenomenon and to situate it more firmly within contemporary post-Jungian studies. A key method used is t

Abstract:
Despite being a key notion in the examination of the process of human objectification, reification has not received sufficient attention in recent years, especially in the study of religion. Building on Axel Honneth’s analysis, I examine the concept of reification within a Sufi context, more precisely, within the esoteric paradigm of Ibn ‘Arabī’s oneness of being (waḥdat al-wujūd). I contend that the root of reification, not only lies in the forgetfulness of the origin of cognition in recognition, as Honneth argued, but also in the forgetfulness of the origin of recognition in pure consciou

This literature review aims to investigate, expose and explain August Strindberg's religious position in his partly autobiographical work Inferno, published in Swedish in 1897, in relation to Peter Berger's socialization theory.

This is questionable, as Strindberg seems to be religious in its atheistic era, and occultist during his Christian period.

These speculative ideas have informed the Western occultic tradition throughout the centuries.

De två perspektiven möjliggör en läsning utifrån två till synes mycket olika synvinklar, vilka dock tycks bestå av vissagemensamma tendenser.

Abstract:
<p> The 1960&rsquo;s space race in the United States gave rise to a unique culture of innovation embodied by an engineering class of professionals (Wisnioski, 2009). As knowledge workers, engineers were applying niche knowledge to solve big problems in the world (Kasdan, 1999). The result of their efforts in utilizing specific knowledge (i.e. esoteric knowledge) would become the basis for advanced development and production technology (Kasdan, 1999). One byproduct of this era is the advancement of engineering methods and computational mechanics (i.e. simulation) used to solve difficult, but se

Abstract:
This PhD is the first prosopographical study of two generations of Australian manual healers in the twentieth century. The central historical figure is Thomas Ambrose Bowen (1916-1982) a self-titled Australian osteopath and arguably a therapeutic genius turned victim of health politics of the twentieth century. Bowen was stripped of his osteopathic identity as a result of political machinations that occurred during regulation of the industry in the late-1970s and early-1980s. This thesis reveals the legitimacy of Bowen’s claim to osteopathic stature and how his career is representative of the

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to answer the question of the origin of some of the most fundamental additions made to early Christian baptism. Christian baptism began in a relatively simple liturgical form, but became, by the fourth century, a much more dramatic set of initiation rituals. Among the added elements to baptism were washing ceremonies in the nude, physical anointing with oil, being marked or signed with the cross on the forehead, and receiving white garments. Scholars have proposed different theories as to the origins of these baptismal rituals. Some claim the elements existed in the New Testa
