The project takes its point of departure from an observation that research on the Enlightenment in the past two decades has developed around ideas about "the Alterity of Reason" and the "Obscure in Enlightenment". These designations though occupying a significant position in the present scientific discourse on the 18th Century, lack a comprehensive systematic concept of historical understanding and explanation. The project is directed toward overcoming this deficit through bringing together research on the Enlightenment and Modern Esotericism. As such, "Esotericism" is conceived as an integrative concept of occidental belief and scholarly scientific tradition extending into the 18th Century, at once modified by and influencing the Enlightenment. The aim of this group effort is to analyze the 18th Century as an epoch, the internal contradictions of which can be bound together in a comprehensive understanding through these contrasting approaches, which thereby shed new light on the character of transformation straddling between tradition and modernity. The individual themes lead in this direction and treat relations specifically pertinent to Halle between Esotericism, Pietism, and Early Enlightenment, Esotericism in Wolffianism, Emanuel Swedenborg´s position within Enlightenment and Esoteric discourse of the 18th Century, Johann Georg Hamann´s aesthetics in relation to Enlightenment, Christianity and Esotericism, and finally - once again in relation to Halle as a centre - "Rational Christianity" in the strained domain of Esoteric-Masonistic development.

该项目的出发点是观察到，过去二十年来对启蒙运动的研究围绕着“理性的交替”和“启蒙运动中的模糊”的思想发展。这些名称虽然在当今世纪的科学话语中占有重要地位，但缺乏一个全面系统的历史认识和解释概念。该项目旨在通过汇集对启蒙运动和现代密宗的研究来克服这一缺陷。因此，“密宗”被认为是一个综合的概念，西方的信仰和学术科学传统延伸到18世纪，在一次修改和影响启蒙运动。这一群体的努力旨在将18世纪作为一个时代进行分析，通过这些对比的方法，可以将其内部矛盾结合在一起，从而全面理解，从而对跨越传统与现代之间的转型性质提供新的认识。个别主题导致在这个方向上，并处理关系之间的密宗，虔诚主义和早期启蒙运动，密宗在沃尔夫主义，伊曼纽尔斯韦登伯格的立场在启蒙运动和密宗话语的18世纪，约翰格奥尔格哈曼的美学与启蒙运动，基督教和密宗，最后--再一次以哈雷为中心--“理性基督教”在密宗-共济会发展的紧张领域。
