Speculative thinking and Christian esotericism in the 14th-century England. The Importance of the Paston Family Letters

Summary/Abstract: In the fourteenth centuryEngland, we can talk about the existence of associations or societies founded on thewell-known principles of the chivalric orders, but secretly operating, whose memberssought a way of discreet and favorable life for unfolding philanthropic anonymousactivities, and – in particular – a contemplative life, like a monk, based on prayer andmeditation. It is very possible that such “speculative societies” have contributed to theemergence of an environment conducive to the development of a way of life, andespecially of a speculative way of thinking, favoring the establishment of organizationalstructures that practiced Christian esotericism.
