About
Aaron Cheak's personal and professional interests centre on the dynamics of apotheosis conceived as a process of ontological mutation. His previous research has focused on the intellectual history of magic with an emphasis on the faculty of imagination as a magical instrument (phantasia, mundus imaginalis, vis imaginativa). Current research focuses on theories of ontological mutation and qualitative exaltation in the works of German Kulturphilosoph Jean Gebser (1905-1973) and Alsatian Egyptosophist, René-Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz (1887-1961). Part of this research has recently been accepted as a doctoral dissertation on the alchemy of René Schwaller de Lubicz.
Doctor Cheak's work continues to express the growing presence of nondual epistemologies within the academy. His current writing projects are devoted to articulating the deep interstices between integral and hermetic philosophy.
