À propos de cet audio

The episode offers an extensive historical and philosophical overview of Hermeticism, an influential Western esoteric tradition. It traces the tradition's origins to Hellenistic Egypt, particularly Alexandria, where the Greek god Hermes was syncretized with the Egyptian god Thoth to create the mythical sage Hermes Trismegistus. The text explains that while the tradition was once believed to predate Moses, modern scholarship dates key texts like the Corpus Hermeticum to the 2nd–3rd centuries CE. Furthermore, the overview discusses Hermeticism's core teachings, which emphasize spiritual enlightenment, the unity of the cosmos ("As above, so below"), and the pursuit of gnosis (divine knowledge). Finally, it details the profound impact of Hermeticism on philosophy, alchemy, and occult movements, especially during its Renaissance revival.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". George Santayana
