These counter-conspiracy theories revolved mainly around the suggestion that the political establishment was responsible for the murder or at least had turned a blind eye to it.

  • DENOUNCING the ENLIGHTENMENT by MEANS of a CONSPIRACY THESIS Gochhausens Enthullung Der Weltburgerrepublik
    Sisko Haikala DENOUNCING THE ENLIGHTENMENT BY MEANS OF A CONSPIRACY THESIS Gochhausens Enthullung der Weltburgerrepublik I rnst August Anton von Gochhausen's initially anonymous EEnthilllung der Weltburgerrepublik (Exposure of the Cosmopolitan Republic, 1786), with its theses on a "cosmopolitan conspiracy" which threatened the established political and religious order, is a notewor­ thy illustration of the rise of conspiracy thinking in the political cul­ ture of the late Enlightenment. Conspiracy theories generally emerge in times of crisis when scapegoats and monocausal explanations for problems and disasters at hand are searched for. They belong to irra­ tional elements in the history of thought and do not seem to fit into the picture of the 'Age of Reason'. However, signs of a crisis within the Enlightenment and illustrations of a growing awareness of the existence of such a crisis were visible in late eighteenth-century Eu­ rope well before the outbreak of the French Revolution. This crisis followed from conflicts between traditional and novel norms and 96 DENOUNCING THE ENLIGHTENMENT BY MEANS OF A CONSPIRACY THESIS from disappointment at progress in the Enlightenment which was sometimes seen as excessively slow, sometimes as excessively fast, sometimes as going astray. Divisions among the Enlighteners into various radical and moderate groups emerged, and a considerable rise in Counter-Enlightenment thought occurred. Such developments were reflections of accelerating processes of politicization. Unlike stereotypical interpretations of the German Enlightenment as an es­ sentially non-political movement suggest, an ideological polariza­ tion and a connected rivalry for dominance of public opinion was also taking place within German public discourse well before the beginning of the French Revolution.

These men come from different centuries and economic backgrounds. They are presidents, authors, entertainers, inventors, and adventurers. They are important symbols of American culture, but their connection reaches deeper even than that. All of the men listed above, and countless others, were part of the Freemason Society. For some, this might be a shocking revelation, but, for others, this may not be surprising. Freemasons have permeated American politics and popular culture since its creation.

  • The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation
    Brill Research Perspectives in Jesuit Studies 2.1 (2020) 1–117 brill.com/brp The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation Paul Shore University of Regina, Canada, and Wolfson College, Cambridge University, UK [email protected] Abstract The forty-one years between the Society of Jesus’s papal suppression in 1773 and its eventual restoration in 1814 remain controversial, with new research and interpreta- tions continually appearing. Shore’s narrative approaches these years, and the period preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic. As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields as diverse as ethnology—a term and concept pioneered by an ex-Jesuit—and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century, the essay also explores the period the ex- iled Society spent in the Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society’s restoration in the broader context of world history. Keywords China – Enlightenment – Gabriel Gruber – Niccolò Paccanari – Giuseppe Pignatelli – Marquis Pombal – Jesuit suppression – Jesuit restoration – White Russia 1 Prelude to Dissolution The date 1773, like 476 and 1453, long ago entered history books as a milestone helping define a period in world history.

  • 6 a Moral Threat to Society? – the Jesuit Danger 1814–1961
    6Amoral threattosociety? – the Jesuit danger 1814–1961 Afather and his “Jesuitism” From 1928 onwards,Heinrich Roos (1904–1977) was aJesuitfather in Copenha- gen. He was German-born, but had acquired Danishcitizenship. Ever since the Jesuits had been expelled from Bismarck’sGermanyinthe early1870s, Jesuit schools in Denmark had taught in both Germanand Danish. ManyGermans soughttoattend DanishJesuit schools, especiallyduringthe period whenthe or- der’sinstitutions werebanned in Germany.Roos taught at the school in Copen- hagen, in addition to holding aposition as philologist at the city’suniversity.¹ In February 1954,the Theological Association in Norwayapplied to the Min- istry of Justice on behalf of Roos for an exemption from the constitutional ban on Jesuits.They wanted him to visit the country to present alecture on the work and teachings of the Jesuits.² The issue of the exclusion of the Jesuits had been raised in connection with the government’sratification of the European Convention on Human Rights in 1951. Norwayhad expressed reservations about the clause on religious freedom because of the ban on Jesuits, which, at an international level, was problematic and controversial. In 1952, therefore, the government for- warded aproposal to repeal this last exclusionary provision from the Constitu- tion. It was in this context that Father Roos applied to come to Norway – but he was turned down. Giving his reasoning,Minister of Justice KaiBirgerKnudsen (1903–1977) in Oscar Torp’s(1893–1958) Labour Party government explained that it was

  • Friedrich Hölderlin and the Clandestine Society of the Bavarian Illuminati. a Plaidoyer
    Philosophica 88 (2013) pp.103-125 FRIEDRICH HÖLDERLIN AND THE CLANDESTINE SOCIETY OF THE BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI. A PLAIDOYER Laura Anna Macor ABSTRACT In this essay, I deal with a grossly neglected aspect of Friedrich Hölderlin’s involvement in his historical and intellectual period, namely, his relationship with the secret order of the Bavarian Illuminati. Hölderlin’s native region of Württemberg was one of the organization’s most active colonies, as was almost every other Duchy or city Hölderlin happened to live in. It was therefore not merely coincidental that he was personally acquainted with many Illuminati and read a number of important writings connected to the society. Nonetheless, Hölderlin-scholarship has hitherto failed to grasp the relevance of this aspect. 1 Introduction This paper deals with Friedrich Hölderlin’s (1770–1843) severely and surprisingly neglected relationship with the secret order of the Bavarian Illuminati. Hölderlin’s involvement in his political context has been the subject of scholarly interest for many decades, occasioning a wide range of innovative research, for instance on his commitment to 104 L. MACOR the Republican tradition. Even so, his many biographical and theoretical connections with the clandestine society of the Illuminati, which dominated German public debate in the late 1780s, have remained at best peripheral, if not completely extraneous to the research interests of Hölderlin-scholarship. This is all the more striking since the Illuminati had gained by the end of the 20th century a well-deserved place in historical scholarship, subsequently coming to play a central role in pivotal books on key-figures in Hölderlin’s life and thought such as Friedrich Schiller and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

This article seeks to develop a sociological understanding of the structural conditions that are associated with conspiratorial belief. Using aggregate Google search data to measure public interest in two popular political conspiracy theories, the findings indicate that social conditions associated with threat and insecurity, including unemployment, changes in partisan control of government, and demographic changes, are associated with increased conspiratorial ideation.

It includes medieval blood libel claims rooted in Christianity and twentieth century conspiracy theories about Jewish control of the world economy. It encompasses Holocaust denial and distortion and virulent anti-Israel animus. It can exist in places where Jews are prominent and visible and in places where Jews themselves are entirely absent. It may be present in physical encounters at work or on the street or in the virtual world of the internet and social media.
