Mysticism is about knowing and unifying man with God (unio mystica), in a process that involves concerted cognitive and ascetic efforts. Mysticism does not follow, according to the classic pattern, the moralizing of man, but reach at the direct and immediate knowledge of God. Thus, mysticism is not, firstly, a matter of ethics, but a theoretical or, rather, an epistemological one. For what is...

I am a historian of philosophy and theology, which is to say that the authors I work on are almost exclusively those who make doctrine. Moreover, a great deal of my work has been focused on Thomas Aquinas, the doctrine maker extraordinaire of the later Middle Ages. From that vantage point, it is interesting to consider the question of whether mysticism, by its nature, must necessarily conflict...

Mysticism is an important component of religion, representing its experiential dimension. The term itself is of western origin, adopted by Christianity, evolving over time and extending in meaning only in the nineteenth century to include experiences of encounters with the ultimate nature of Reality in religions. Thus, a category of mysticism has developed, which can be studied in a comparative...

Past research has demonstrated to the ability of psychedelics to enhance suggestibility, and pointed to their ability to amplify perception of meaning. This paper examines the existing evidence for the meaning-enhancing properties of psychedelics, and argues that the tendency of these agents to enhance the perception of significance offers valuable clues to explaining their reported ability to...

Abstract Kenneth E. Kirk is regarded as the person who revived moral theology in the Anglican tradition in the early to mid-twentieth century. This article argues that a renewal of interest in mysticism, led especially by W.R. Inge and Evelyn Underhill in the first two decades of the twentieth century, was influential upon Kirk’s outlook, especially his association of moral theology with...

The topic of the article is the poetical reaction of Juliusz Słowacki to the crisis of culture in the early 40s of the 19th century. Epiphanic awareness of the theological dimension of the space has beenconfronted with conviction about the disintegration of language, which has lost the ability to give the appearance of reality. Słowacki expressed confidence that the source of his mystical...

Recent treatments of the role of religion in Virginia Woolf’s novels have posited a tension between religiosity and secularism, but this paper explores the conjunction of spirituality and materiality in Woolf’s work. Rather than posing a tension between mainstream religion and materiality, I argue for an unorthodox view of spirituality in which, despite their apparent contradiction, the...

Мистический опыт имеет два аспекта.Он включает в себя: 1) прямой контакт с Богом; 2) единение с Богом.Чтобы прояснить первый аспект, я буду опираться на концепцию, изложенную в основательном труде Уильяма Олстона «Восприятие Бога».Несмотря на то, что точка зрения Олстона кажется мне правильной во многих отношениях, основная ее проблема состоит в том, что представление о контакте с Богом, или о...
