Abstract. The article deals with the role and place of Western esotericism in modern culture. It analyzes controversial aspects of conceptions of foreign (B. Hanegraaff, K. von Shtukrad) and domestic (V. M. Rozin) researchers, who influenced scientific understanding of the phenomenon. From the standpoint of the author, there is a vivid transformation of contemporary esotericism under the influence of globalization and secularization. The paper highlights the increasing role of the commercial component in the spread of esoteric teachings.
