Esoteric discourse and esoteric world picture at modern stage
Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of esotericism as a special type of discourse. The specificity of this phenomenon and its reflection in the text, esoteric understanding is noted by the author as a closed, secret knowledge (in dictionary definitions and other more extensive sources). This knowledge can be, in terms of cognitive science, a special world view shared by the respective individual or group of people. The article highlights a paradox at first glance, the trend: the modern esoteric, on the one hand, express their isolation, tightness of the uniqueness and closeness to comprehend knowledge, on the other - seek to spread their ideology and pursue quite pragmatic purpose: to seize as much as possible audience of potential adopters and to introduce them to the «enlightened» way of thinking and outlook. The author proves the syncretic nature of this particular esoteric forms of communication linking the language tools, techniques and genres of both religious (“preaching”), and “popular science” - more precisely, pseudo-scientific and pseudo-popular discourses.
Keywords: discourse, spirituality, esotericism, world picture, recipient of the text.
