Debemos a Antoine Faivre, no solo la propuesta de una perspectiva transdisciplinar en el estudio del esoterismo occidental -entendiendo este como cierto conjunto de corrientes asociadas al devenir, la expansi�n y la historia intelectual de las culturas europeas-, sino su postulaci�n como todo un campo acad�mico por derecho propio. De hecho, quiz� corresponde atribuir a la primera edici�n de El esoterismo, aparecida en el a�o 1992, la primera y m�s condensada elaboraci�n cr�tica de esa perspectiva, adem�s de una decisiva contribuci�n al establecimiento, a nivel historiogr�fico y metodol�gico, de los estudios sobre esoterismo occidental como un marco investigativo transversal; marco que hoy, en r�pida expansi�n, contribuye y da cabida a numerosos debates cient�ficos y culturales. M�s all� de la exploraci�n de distintas tradiciones y figuras pertenecientes al hermetismo, el gnosticismo, la alquimia, la teosof�a, la masoner�a, el ocultismo, etc., con este libro Faivre nos ofrece, contra el religionismo ad usum y el oscurantismo perennialista, una fascinante historia de las ideas que, con sus luces y sombras, atraviesa y pone en relaci�n problem�ticas y conceptos referentes tanto a la literatura como a las ciencias, a las religiones como a la filosof�a.
