The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott, promoting a syncretic spiritual philosophy drawing on Eastern religions, Western esotericism, and spiritual evolution.
Transmitted Eastern spiritual concepts to the West; planted the intellectual seeds for the New Age movement, anthroposophy, and much of 20th-century esotericism.
No conceptual posterity found.
