Description:
Scholars have debated the role of the occult in Nazism since it first appeared on
the German political landscape in the 1920s. After 1945, a consensus held that
occultism - an ostensibly anti-modern, irrational blend of pseudo-religious and
-scientific practices and ideas - had directly facilitated Nazism's rise. More
recently, scholarly debate has denied the occult a role in shaping the Third Reich,
emphasizing the Nazis' hostility to esoteric religion and alternative forms of
knowledge. Bringing together cutting-edge scholarship on the topic, this volume
calls for a fundamental reappraisal of these positions. The book is divided into
three chronological sections. The first, on the period 1890 to 1933, looks at the
esoteric philosophies and occult movements that influenced both the leaders of the
Nazi movement and ordinary Germans who became its adherents. The second, on the
Third Reich in power, explores how the occult and alternative religious belief
informed Nazism as an ideological, political, and cultural system. The third looks
at Nazism's occult legacies. In emphasizing both continuities and disjunctures,
this book promises to re-open and re-energize debate on the occult roots and
legacies of Nazism, and with it our understanding of German cultural and
intellectual history over the past century. Contributors: Monica Black; Jeff
