项目摘要

The Theosophy Society was the preeminent esoteric association of the late 19th and early 20th century, which extensively defined the discourse on esotericism and had a global impact. In the year 1879, the Society, whose spiritual roots lay in European and American Spiritualism, relocated to India and based itself increasingly on Buddhist and Hindu teachings. As a result of this development, in 1888, a new systematic compilation of the Society`s doctrinal system under the title of the Secret Doctrine was published, which subsequently became the standard work of modern esotericism. Previous research has understood this development as though Theosophy reinterpreted its original western-orientated teachings in the spirit of the eastern teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism. The foundation of the project is the thesis that the sources present a much more complex picture, in which „East“ and „West“ do not so much turn out to be geographical references but rather strategic positionings.The two most important people, who confer legitimacy in these discussions of the early 1880s concerning the emergence of the „eastern“ and „western“ position, are examined. Anna Kingsford is considered the representative of a western Christian esotericism and the Indian Brahman, Subba Row, acted as the authentic Indian witness of the „eastern“ teachings. In the project, at first, as the necessary groundwork, both of their lives and works are analysed. Following on from this, their influence on the further formation of the Theosophy Society`s teaching in philological, concrete and ascertainable terms, whose provisional endpoint was reached in the Secret Doctrine, will be analysed. The results will also be relevant generally for a deeper understanding of the global discourse of the 19th century.

神学会是19世纪末和世纪初杰出的密宗协会，它广泛地定义了关于密宗的话语，并产生了全球性的影响。在1879年，该协会，其精神根源在于欧洲和美国的唯心主义，搬迁到印度，并越来越多地基于佛教和印度教教义。由于这一发展，在1888年，一个新的系统汇编的社会的理论体系的标题下的秘密学说出版，随后成为现代密宗的标准工作。之前的研究对这一发展的理解就像神智学按照印度教和佛教东方教义的精神重新解释其最初的西方教义一样。该项目的基础是这样一个论点，即这些资料提供了一个更为复杂的画面，其中“东方”和“西方”并不是地理上的参考，而是战略上的定位。在19世纪80年代初关于“东方”和“西方”位置的讨论中，两位最重要的人给予了合法性。安娜·金斯福德被认为是西方基督教神秘主义的代表，而印度婆罗门苏巴·罗则是"东方”教义的真正印度见证人。在本课题中，首先，作为必要的铺垫，对他们的生平和作品进行了分析。从这之后，他们对神学社会的教学在语言学，具体和可确定的条款，其临时终点是在秘密学说达到进一步形成的影响，将进行分析。研究结果也将有助于更深入地理解19世纪世纪的全球话语。
