Tattva - Journal of Philosophy July 1, 2012 John A J Dudley
In this paper I shall argue that there are two reasons for thinking that the current widespread understanding of Aristotle's metaphysical thought is in need of revision. In part one, I shall attempt to show that Aristotle's metaphysics belong to a mystical tradition in ancient philosophy both in regard to its principles and its method; and in part two, I shall make use of Aristotle's own...

Abstrak : “Dimensi esoterik dan eksoterik agama” adalah masalah filosofis-teologis yang berkonteks oksidental. “Pengalaman Religius” dan “Sophia Perennis” adalah dua teori yang diperdebatkan dalam isu ini.

Abstrak : Para mistikus melampaui tahap-tahap (derajat kesempurnaan mistik) dan maqam spiritual dalam perjalanan mereka menuju Allah yang sulit dimengerti oleh non-mistikus.

Contrasting elements in R.D. Laing's psychiatry can be traced to two kinds of Christian theology: mystical theology and corporate theology. On one hand, Laing's mystical theology combined with psychoanalytic theory, to provide a New Age psychotherapeutic account of the recovery of authentic selfhood via metanoia. On the other, his incarnational, corporate theology promoted social inclusion of...

In a variety of synaesthesia, photisms result from affect-laden stimuli as emotional words, or faces of familiar people. For R, who participated in this study, the sight of a familiar person triggers a mental image of "a human silhouette filled with colour". Subjective descriptions of synaesthetic experiences induced by the visual perception of people's figures and faces show similarities with...

Abstract The “new age” has been both difficult to specify and tricky to theorize in the standard terms of the academic study of religion. This chapter begins by looking at how elements of the new age stack up with the limited model of a rationalized bureaucratic organization supplied by the “world religions” taxonomy. It further locates the new age in the discursive drift from mysticism to...

This study explores the phenomenological structure of mystical experience among 139 Chinese Pure Land and Chan Buddhist monks and nuns. Semi-structured interviews, thematic coding, and statistical analyses demonstrated that Stace's common facets of mysticism as measured by Hood's Mysticism Scale (M Scale) successfully described Buddhist experience as modified by Buddhist doctrines. Confirmatory...
