Henry Corbin and the Mundus ImaginaliswithTom Cheetham
August 4, 2023
Here he describes the life and scholarship of the French scholar, Henry Corbin, particularly with reference to Iranian mysticism and his concept of the imaginal.
Israel Regardie was key in integrating psychological and esoteric ideas. His work demonstrates “psychologisation” in modern Western esotericism. However, this integration was complex, as seen in a four-part typology.
1: Complementary psychologisation views esotericism and psychology as complementary.
2: Terminological psychologisation uses psychological language for esoteric concepts.
3: Reductive psychologisation interprets esoteric ideas via psychology.
4: Idealist psychologization equates psyche and sacrality.
This nuanced perspective challenges oversimplified notions of esoteric discourse as merely psychologised. A balanced view of Regardie reveals a rich integration of psychological and esoteric discourses. Clarifying psychologization helps assess Regardie’s contributions and esotericism-psychology interplay overall.
