Tarocco and fugue. 6. De(mon) construction. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Divination like many critical modes involves reading signs and magic more generally can be seen as a kind of criticism that takes the universe seen and unseen known and unknowable as its text. In The Occult Mind the author explores the history of magic in western thought suggesting a bold new understanding of the claims made abut the power of various belief systems. In closely interlinked essays on such disparate topics as ley lines the Tarot the Corpus Hermeticum writing and ritual in magical practice and early attempts to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics the author treats magic and its parts as an intellectual object that requires interpretive zeal on the part of readers/observers. Drawing illuminating parallels between the practice of magic and more recent interpretive systems structuralism deconstruction semiotics the author deftly suggests that the specter of magic haunts all such attempts to grasp the character of knowledge. Offering a radical new approach to the nature and value of occult thought the author's brilliantly conceived and executed book posits magic as a mode of theory that is intrinsically subversive of normative conceptions of reason and truth. In elucidating the deep parallels between occult thought and academic discourse the author demonstrates that sixteenth century occult philosophy often touched on issues that have become central to philosophical discourse only in the past fifty years. 246 pp.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For more than thirty years, Jonathan Z. Smith was among the most important voices of critical reflection within the academic study of religion. Smith had also produced a significant corpus of essays and lectures on teaching and on the essential role of academic scholarship on religion in matters of education and public policy. Education was not a side issue for Smith, and his essays continually shed light on fundamental questions. What differentiates college fromhigh school? What are the proper functions of an introductory course? What functions should a department serve in undergraduate and graduate education? How should a major or concentration be conceived-ifat all? What roles should the academic guilds play in public discourse on education and on religion? Most importantly, what does it mean to say that one is both a scholar and a teacher, and what responsibilities does this entail?Smith's writings on these crucial issues for education have been largely inaccessible until now. Some pieces in this book appeared in education journals, while others were collected in specialist volumes of conference proceedings. Many wereoriginally delivered as keynote speeches to the American Academy of Religion and other major scholarly organizations, and although scholars reminisce about hearing Smith deliver them, the works themselves arenot readily available. On Teaching Religion collects the best of these essays and lectures into one volume. On Teaching Religion collects the best of Jonathan Z. Smith's essays and lectures into one volume.
