Tron på en styrande, övergripande, himmelsk princip har följt människan genom historien. Mer än 80 procent av världens befolkning har idag en religiös tillhörighet och även i sekulära stater fortsätter religionen att spela en viktig roll. Det går inte att förstå politik och internationella relationer idag utan att inkludera religionen som en aspekt av det kulturella sammanhanget. Essäerna i denna antologi, som härrör från Engelsbergsseminariet 2014, spänner över en mångfald ämnen i dagens såväl som gårdagens samhällen. De utforskar religionen i relation till människans villkor och skildrar hur den manifesterar sig i individens egna upplevelser. För att förstå oss själva behöver vi också förstå religionen.

In this thorough critical appraisal, 20 specialists on modern art, art history, philosophy and religious studies examine the unique art, the cultural circumstances and art-historical positioning of Swedish abstractionist Hilma af Klint. Topics explored range from early abstract art and the impact of Darwinism to Goethe’s colour theory, as well as the importance of occult religious movements such as theosophy and anthroposophy that influenced the early modernists, and discussions of af Klint’s own personal diary notes and research. The book is based on the seminars that were held in conjunction with the exhibition Hilma af Klint: A Pioneer of Abstraction in 2013. This extremely successful exhibition attracted a record number of visitors to the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, after which it continued to the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum in Berlin and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.

This important book presents the work of the fascinating and singular artist Luigi Pericle (1916–2001). Pericle was a painter, illustrator and scholar, as well as a leading figure in the story of art in the second half of the twentieth century. The artist initially found fame as an illustrator, gaining widespread renown in the 1950s as the inventor of the character Max the Marmot. But his intense, enigmatic and multi-layered paintings increasingly drew the attention of the art world, with works that reflect his personal, metaphysical take on post-war abstraction exhibited at numerous venues in Britain during the 1960s. Pericle then abruptly retreated from the art system, and for the rest of his life continued to paint, write and to study esoteric philosophy in the secluded house he shared with his wife Orsolina on Monte Verit in the Ticino region of Switzerland. The artist’s work was dramatically rediscovered in 2016 when the contents of his former residence were revealed. The process of restoring, cataloguing and researching his vast oeuvre is ongoing, and is overseen by Ascona’s Archivio Luigi Pericle, with which the exhibition has been organised. This beautifully illustrated publication, which accompanies an exhibition at the Estorick Collection, London, includes a full catalogue of the works, as well as essays by noted scholars.

I den mest uttömmande boken om Hilma af Klint som hittills getts ut, skriver 20 specialister inom modern konst, konsthistoria, idéhistoria och religionshistoria utifrån sin unika utgångspunkt och ger sin syn på af Klints konstnärskap. Ämnena rör sig från tidig abstrakt konst och inflytandet av Darwin och Goethes färglära till betydelsen av ockulta religiösa rörelser som teosofi och antroposofi, som även influerade de tidiga modernisterna. Här finns också inslag från Hilma af Klints personliga anteckningar och efterforskningar. Boken baseras på det seminarium som hölls i samband med den häpnadsväckande framgångsrika utställningen Hilma af Klint A Pioneer of Abstraction på Moderna Museet i Stockholm 2013. Detta är en nyutgåva som innehåller ett nyskrivet bidrag av Kurt Almqvist, Hilma af Klints hemliga lära, budskap och livsåskådning, utifrån tidigare ej nyttjat källmaterial. Det bearbetar en del av historien som tidigare inte behandlats närmare: bakgrunden till Hilma af Klints lära och livsåskådning, samt utvecklingen efter hennes död 1944 och fram till bildandet av Stiftelsen Hilma af Klints verk 1972, och om den ende arvtagaren till Hilma af Klints verk, dess skapare och ende donator, antroposofen Viceamiral Erik af Klint (1901-1981). Boken har ett efterord av Daniel Birnbaum.

Hilma af Klints verk har tagit den internationella konstvärlden med storm, mer än hundra år sedan de första verken skapades. Kring det förra sekelskiftet påverkade ockulta religiösa rörelser som teosofi och antroposofi de tidiga modernisterna Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich och Hilma af Klint. Vilken tidsanda inspirerade en sådan plötslig artistisk utgjutelse? Denna antologi baseras på seminariet som hölls när Guggenheimmuseet i New York öppnade sin mycket omtalade och historiskt mest välbesökta utställning Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future i oktober 2018.

Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics

Vertaile hintoja

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) is one of the most famous and significant authors in the history of western esotericism. Crowley has been long ignored by scholars of religion whilst the stories of magical and sexual practice which circulate about him continue to attract popular interest. "Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics" looks at the man behind the myth - by setting him firmly within the politics of his time - and the development of his ideas through his extensive and extraordinarily varied writings. Crowley was a rationalist, sympathetic to the values of the Enlightenment, but also a romantic and a reactionary. His search for an alternative way to express his religious feelings led him to elaborate his own vision of social and political change. Crowley's complex politics led to his involvement with many key individuals, organisations and groups of his day - the secret service of various countries, the German Nazi party, Russian political activists, journalists and politicians of various persuasions, as well as other writers - both in Europe and America. "Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics" presents a life of ideas, an examination of a man shaped by and shaping the politics of his times.
