Heterodoxology is the blog of a PhD candidate (that is me) who teaches and researches in the field of Western esotericism and related currents at the University of Amsterdam. The blog is dedicated to exploring unconventional thought and behaviour across the board of Western culture.
Heterodoxology could be read as an extension of my PhD project, which looks at various interconnections, encounters and struggles between esoteric thought and modern science, into the blogosphere. Academically, I want to know more about the interplay between heterodoxy, orthodoxy, and popular “doxa” or unreflective knowledge. The idea is to share some of my thoughts on this issue here.
The ornamented letter “H” on the front page is taken from Die Bücher-Ornamentik Der Renaissance, assembled by the German antiquarian and bookseller A. F. Butsch and published in Leipzig in 1878.
