Despite their diversity, these factions manifested a set of common features—anti-materialism, embrace of Darwinian evolution, and a belief in universal spirituality—that coalesced in a transnational field of analogous cosmopolitan spiritual affinities. Yet, in each of their geopolitical locations these groups developed vastly different interpretations and applications of their common spiritual tenets. This book explores how such religious innovation intersected with the social (labor and economic renewal), cultural (education and religious innovation) and political (Empire and anti-colonial) dynamics in these vastly different national domains. Ultimately, it illustrates how an innovative religious discourse converged with the secular world and became applied to envision a new social order—to spiritually re-engineer the world.. | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | esoteric religious movements; theosophy; esotericism; Ernst Haeckel; German Monism; H; P; Blavatsky; India | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-81003-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-81005-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-81003-0 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
