Philosophy Between the Lines

This engaging history explores the often-overlooked practice of philosophical esotericism, revealing how major thinkers from ancient to modern times used subtle, behind-the-scenes communication in their work. Guided by Arthur M. Melzer, listeners gain insight into what esotericism entails, the reasons behind its use, and the reasons it has been dismissed or ignored in recent history. The book also considers how revisiting this hidden art could enrich our understanding of Western philosophical thought.
