Opening of the Way

Eranos: An Alternative Intellectual History of the Twentieth Century
Hans Thomas Hakl

page 257, an academic Marxist, Hans Heinz Holz, in 1997, talked about Eranos as "Pseudo-Gnosis", and "a late bourgeois flight from the world".

This is the usual Marxist critique of religion and esoteric groups, and here it gets to how such people often were supporting the Nazi Party.

So Hakl sets about to open all of this up, drawing upon lots and lots of sources.
