    An overview of Western theosophical traditions
  

*by O***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2000*

Antoine Faivre's book is maybe the most comprehensive overview of the Western theosophical traditions that I have seen. Theosophy as understood by this book is not affiliated by the Society that took upon itself this  name, but rather refers to its various manifestations throughout Western  esoteric traditions starting with Jakob Boehme. Boehme, von Baader, and  Schelling emerge, as widely accepted by other scholars and people from  esoteric circles, as the starting point of the so-called modern conception  of theosophy, under which the possibility of a direct connection between  the individual and the Godhead is presupposed and the whole universe is  seen as a theogonic process unfolding within God. The book traces the  genealogy of this central notion in its form peculiar to Western  theosophists starting from Boehme, through Christian Kabbalists to 19th and  20th century. Antoine Faivre, it should be remembered, is from esoteric  circles himself. So the book may not be for those looking for cold and  disinterested or prejudiced scholarship. The book contains material about  some difficult to find or rarely analyzed figures like von Baader, who  nevertheless are very crucial in the evolution of Western esotericism.  Antoine Faivre has been deeply influenced by the late Henry Corbin, his  idea of "Imaginal World" and religious phenomenology. As such,  his interpretation has a bias towards Corbin, and the Imagination in the  title as well as discussed in the book is not Imagination in the sense of  phantasy that we normally use in daily life, but refers to an independent  ontological sphere, which is very crucial to understanding Corbin's, and  Faivre's views. I would refer the reader to Corbin's "Creative  Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn Arabi". Over all, a very systematic  and nearly comprehensive, if not totally unbiased overview of the subjects  in question.
