Summary
The highly recommended anthology „Esotericism in Political Education“ offers a comprehensive and easily accessible overview of central esoteric movements, actors and ideas. In addition to well-known topics such as astrology, anthroposophy and homeopathy, the articles also shed light on lesser-known movements and show connections between esotericism and conspiracy ideologies as well as anti-democratic tendencies in esotericism. At the same time, the volume provides practical impulses for the pedagogical confrontation with esotericism and thus represents a valuable resource for teachers, political education and social work.
