Many have encountered hostility, or amused disdain) from colleagues in more accepted fields. Academic scholars working on magic have often been strikingly anxious to situate themselves indisputably within a conventional disciplinary framework, as tbough thereby to ward off dlC lingering taint of an object of study still thought disreputable if not outright mad. And some important potential contributors, notably philosophers, have not as yet seen a reason to join the conversation. Sociological and andlropological studies similarly presellt themselves in traditional disciplinary styles. Most books advert to normative modes of evidence, analysis, and interpretation in those historical fields. Early modern magic, a preoccupation of the present work, receives treatment within the narrow limits of intellectual history and the history of science. The primary difficulty is simply explained: work on magic is tighdy constrained by the conventions of the discipLines in which it is locally formulated. Work in these areas, though on the increase, remains hampered by various methodological and political blinders. Modern academe does not recognize a discipline devoted to the analytical study of occult, magical, or esoteric traditions.
