Hermetism in the psychology context refers to a philosophical and spiritual tradition rooted in the teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, a mythical figure often associated with wisdom, esoteric knowledge, and the pursuit of inner transformation. Hermetism emphasizes the exploration of the inner self, the unity of the spiritual and material realms, and the quest for personal enlightenment and self-realization. It has had a significant influence on the development of Western esotericism, psychology, and mysticism.
