Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Esoterismo" in Portuguese language version.
A related problem is the definition throughout the book of Western esotericism without any reference to a probable “Eastern” counterpart, except for Kripal’s idea of representing Tantra as the term for Asian esotericism (496). Would “Eastern” esotericism, if such a thing existed, imply no more than an esotericism independent from the Western set of historical traditions or would it be something different in quality? A new and self-determining approach? This question demands an independent investigation; and precisely this analysis is the subject of my forthcoming article dealing with the theoretical possibility of an Asia-centric approach to esoteric material.
