Présentation de l'éditeur
Evelyn Underhill was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism. She was a prolific author and published over 30 books. Underhill came of age in the Edwardian era, at the turn of the 20th century and like most of her contemporaries had a decided romantic bent. The enormous excitement in those days was mysteriously compounded of the psychic, the psychological, the occult, the mystical, the medieval, the advance of science, the apotheosis of art, the re-discovery of the feminine and an unashamedly sensuous and the most ethereally "spiritual". Anglicanism seemed to her out-of-key with this, her world. She sought the centre of life as she and many of her generation conceived it, not in the state religion, but in experience and the heart. This age of "the soul" was one of those periods when a sudden easing of social taboos brings on a great sense of personal emancipation.

impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the essential elements of mysticism, both in theory and practice. The author separates these elements from the complex traditions, symbols, and interpretations that have become associated with the subject. She argues that while these traditional elements may contribute to the mystical experience, an understanding of their limitations is crucial to seeing the true nature of the phenomena. Of particular interest is the examination of how the most profound mystical experiences transcend language, and are ultimately attempts to communicate something beyond our normal understanding and everyday concepts. This is an accessible and thorough investigation into the nature of mystical experience, both for academics and laypeople. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259518112_0
