Mysticism and Meaning : Multidisciplinary Perspectives Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This exciting new volume investigates the question of meaning of mystical phenomena and queries the concept of “meaning” through insights from mystical experiences.

It brings together researchers from four countries, representing disparate fields: philosophy, psychology, history of religion, cognitive poetics, and semiotics.

It addresses the meaning of mysticism through a pertinent, up-to-date multidisciplinary approach.

The editor’s introduction probes its complexity and perplexity, while the fourteen chapters, work along two main threads.

One provides the contextual framework for the continuing fascination of mysticism, presenting several historical traditions as well as personal contemporary accounts of mystical experiences.

A must-read for anyone wishing to expand their understanding of mysticism and its meaning.
