Primero, analiza el desarrollo lingüístico e histórico de los conceptos esotérico y esoterismo, proceso que evolucionó a una incipiente "conciencia histórica" entre los propios esoteristas, influenciada por el influjo historicista romántico, que conformó un nuevo tipo de esoterismo en tiempos de ciencia, democracia y modernidad. Y segundo, explica el proceso de transformación disciplinaria de los estudios de lo esotérico, el esoterismo y la esoterología hasta la imposición de la categoría académica de los "estudios de esoterismo occidental".]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[This article is divided into two parts. First, it analyzes the linguistic and historical development of the esoteric and esotericism concepts, processes that evolved an incipient "historical consciousness" among the esotericists, influenced by the romantic historicist flow, which formed a new type of esotericism in times of science, democracy and modernity. Second, the article explains the process of disciplinary transformation of the study of esoterica, esotericism and esoterology until the imposition of the academic category of "Western Esotericism Studies".]]></p></abstract>
