Summary/Abstract: Although the problems of esoterism are not often undertaken in the area of sociology, this does not mean that it is insignificant for sociological theory itself. In esoterism, the key sociological issues intersect: modernity, sociological change, disenchantment of the world, secularization or counterculture. The article is an attempt to place the subject matter of esoterism within sociology in the framework of a separate subdiscipline. Its major research fields will also be specified. Due attention will be drawn to mutual relations and common research fields, but also to different research objects of the sociology of esoterism, the sociology of religion and the sociology of spirituality.
