"Western" and "Eastern Wisdom". Anna Kingsford`s and Subba Row`s influence on the teaching of the Theosophy Society and the genesis of the Secret Doctrine.

神智学会（Theosophy Society）是19世纪末和20世纪初最杰出的深奥学协会，它广泛地定义了深奥学的话语，并产生了全球影响。在1879年，该协会，其精神根源在于欧洲和美国的唯心论，搬迁到印度，并越来越多地以佛教和印度教教义为基础。由于这一发展，在1888年，一个新的系统汇编的社会的教义系统的标题下的秘密学说出版了，这后来成为现代神秘主义的标准工作。先前的研究已经理解了这种发展，好像神智学在印度教和佛教的东方教义的精神中重新解释了它原来的西方教义。该项目的基础论点是，资料来源呈现了一幅更为复杂的画面，其中“东方”和“西方”与其说是地理参考，不如说是战略定位。在19世纪80年代早期关于“东方”和“西方”立场出现的讨论中，两位最重要的人物赋予了合法性。安娜·金斯福德被认为是西方基督教神秘主义的代表，印度婆罗门苏巴·罗（Subba Row）是“东方”教义的真正印度见证人。在这个项目中，首先，作为必要的基础，分析了他们的生活和工作。接下来，我们将分析他们对神智学会在语言学、具体和可确定的术语上的教学的进一步形成的影响，这些教学的暂时终点在秘密学说中达到了。研究结果也将与更深入地理解19世纪的全球话语普遍相关。

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.
