Description du livre Paper Back. Etat : New. We have a weakness for post-Victorian scholarly works like this- you know, the kind where the synopsis of the contents at the beginning of a chapter takes a good half-page by itself. All the more when that work is reprinted countless times, perennially finding an audience. So naturally, we heartily recommend this narrative and analysis of the development of mysticism, first published in 1911. Underhill defines mysticism as the experience of union with God. As she unfolds and refines this spare definition, we begin to see that this state is itself a journey, both historically and in the mystic's experience. The whole story of Western mysticism is laid before us, but we are never left as mere observers: Underhill's compelling personal participation in that journey, which led, between the first and second editions of this book, to her closer identification with the historic church, a more intense emphasis on the uniqueness of Christian mystical experience and the humanity of Christ, and a modifying of her earlier dualism, invites us to make the mystic's experience our own.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Mysticism is usually thought of as an intense state involving personal unification with the Divine or Ultimate Reality. By its very nature, it is an ineffable experience, impossible to put into words. It is not impossible, however, to study the phenomenon, with an eye toward understanding not only its nature and manifestations, but its relationship to spirituality in general. This book is such a study. Widely considered the best book on mysticism for the general reader, this classic volume assembles a broad range of information scattered among monographs and textbooks in many languages. The work of a noted British authority on mysticism, it is divided into two parts: the first provides an introduction to the general subject of mysticism and its relation to metaphysics, psychology, theology, magic, and symbolism. The second and longer part contains a detailed study of the nature and development of spiritual or mystical consciousness, including such topics as the awakening of the self, the purification of the self, voices and visions, introversion, ecstasy and rapture, the dark night of the soul, and the unitive life. An interesting appendix provides a historical sketch of European mysticism from the beginning of the Christian era to the death of Blake. Richly documented with material drawn from such great mystics as St. Teresa, Meister Eckhart, St. John of the Cross, and William Blake, this remarkable study will be of immense interest to students, psychologists, theologians - anyone interested in this extremely personal and powerful form of spiritual life. Previous editions of this book are cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed. This is a republication of the 1930 edition of a work first published in 1911. It provides an introduction to the subject of mysticism and its relation to metaphysics, psychology, theology, magic, and symbolism and stud Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
