Rozin, V. M. Can Esoterics be Considered a Science and if Yes, then What is a Science?

Abstract: Review: the author compared one of esoteric tradition which is structured as a science, to regular sciences. It is shown that “esoteric sciences” do resemble regular sciences in a number of key parameters (devotion to learning, construction of “ideal” objects, detection of application environment, problems and facts, argumentation). The article covers special features of esoterics and how esoteric perception of the world is formed. The author suggested that “esoteric sciences” should be considered as “untraditional” type of science
