Panikkar’s philosophy of mysticism is best understood as an attempt to overcome monistic and dualistic ways of thinking about the divine, human beings and the universe. Mysticism, for Panikkar, is irreducible to either monistic experiences of oneness without a second or to dualistic experiences where the divine is seen as wholly other. Rather, mysticism relates to holistic experiences of...

Moreover, they argue, the literary character of Watts’ approach to mysticism is outside the bounds or “fundamentally deviant” from what is usually considered mystical philosophy. Watts likewise is charged with reducing the spiritual to the...
