«ESOTERIC, adj. Very particularly abstruse and consummately occult. The ancient philosophies were of two kinds, --_exoteric_, those that the philosophers themselves could partly understand, and _esoteric_, those that nobody could understand. It is the latter that have most profoundly affected modern thought and found greatest acceptance in our time.»
