los sabios árabes
En un plano menor, hay más coincidencias entre ellos: el amor por el alemán, el amor por lo cíclico, la fascinación con Blake, el amor por las mitologías en general, por la magia, por los heresiarcas y los sabios árabes, por el I Ching y por el tarot, por la alquimia.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

If it refers to the men who came to see Jesus Christ when he was born, they are called "The Three Wise Men"
los misticos , the Arabic mistics
Many books written by the author. Arabic mystics, Sufism, Ibn Arapi, https://edit.um.es/campusdigital/ibn-arabi-un-mistico-arabe-...
Tmb. Newton, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Études_de_sciences_occultes_d'...
"Au début de la période moderne de la vie de Newton, les personnes instruites avaient une vision du monde différente de celle des siècles qui suivirent. La distinction entre la science, la superstition et la pseudoscience étaient encore en cours de formulation, et une perspective biblique dévotement chrétienne imprégnait la culture occidentale[réf. nécessaire].
Newton selon Keynes
Après avoir acheté et étudié les œuvres alchimiques de Newton, l'économiste John Maynard Keynes a estimé en 1942 au tricentenaire de sa naissance que Newton n'était pas « le premier de l'âge de raison, mais qu'il était le dernier des magiciens ». En ce sens, certains historiens, dont Keynes, estiment que toute référence à une « vision du monde newtonienne » comme étant de nature purement mécanique est quelque peu inexacte1.
Des recherches historiques sur les études occultes de Newton en relation avec sa science ont également été utilisées pour contester le récit de désenchantement du monde dans la théorie critique2"
