Occult Communications: On Instrumentation, Esotericism, and Epistemology

Author
  • Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan (Leuphana University of Lüneburg)

Abstract

Viewed from the perspective of the occult, formerly straight and narrow conduits of reason may even begin to resemble irregular relays composed of irregular twists and turns. This essay offers a brief overview of key literature on spiritualism and the occult, some larger reflections on the place of the occult within studies of science and communications, and brief summaries of the essays contained in this volume.
