Manly P. Hall

Forfatterbiografi

Manly Palmer Hall (18. marts 1901 – 29. august 1990) var en canadiskfødt forfatter, foredragsholder og filosof med international indflydelse inden for esoterisk litteratur og komparativ religionsforståelse. Han grundlagde i 1934 Philosophical Research Society (PRS) i Los Angeles og fungerede som organisationens første præsident frem til sin død. Halls forfatterskab og virke kredsede om idéer om symbolik, ritualer og mysteriers historiske og filosofiske slægtskab, og han blev især kendt som en formidler, der sammenstillede centrale motivkredse på tværs af traditioner. Hans hovedværk er The Secret Teachings of All Ages, en omfattende encyclopædisk fremstilling af masonic, hermetisk, kabbalistisk og rosenkabbalistisk symbolfilosofi samt beslægtede strømninger. Bogen har i eftertiden fået status som en klassiker og er fortsat et ofte læst referencepunkt for studiet af vestlig esoterisme. Hall forbindes i den litterære og kulturelle offentlighed især med sin rolle som lærer og systematiserende “encyclopædist” inden for det okkulte og symbolske univers, snarere end som akademisk historiker.
