Museion (magazine)
Museion (formerly Museion 2000 ) was a magazine published in Zurich that dealt with religious, esoteric, psychological, philosophical and cultural-historical topics.
The Museion 2000 was published in its first year in 1991. Up to 2004, six and then four issues were published annually by the Zurich-based ABZ Verlag . The majority of the articles were written by the editors-in-chief Daniel Sträuli and Barbara Sträuli-Eisenbeiss, the editors Marianne Kreikenbaum and Heinz Blum, Urs Guggenbühl and Robert Sträuli, and a small number of other authors. After the death of the original editor-in-chief Robert Sträuli, under whose aegis the magazine pursued a more cultural-historical approach, the management passed to other members of the Sträuli family, who moved the magazine even further in the direction of religious, esoteric, psychological and philosophical topics.
The magazine was generally not received by established research or, in the rare cases of attention, was viewed extremely critically. The authors were accused of constructing vague questions and misinterpreting and presenting terminology. In addition, none of the regular authors had a real subject and wrote on many different subject areas without obviously having prior knowledge of the various scientific disciplines. The esoteric approach of most of the articles also contributed to this. So it was not surprising that the magazine was well received in esoteric and similar circles. With the fourth issue of the 2007 volume, the magazine stopped its publication.
