Biographie de l'auteur :
EVELYN UNDERHILL (1875 -1941), English poet, novelist, and writer on mysticism, was born in England and educated at King's College for Women, London. In 1921 Miss Underhill was Upton Lecturer on the Philosophy of Religion at Manchester College, Oxford. Between 1900 and 1920 she wrote novels and light verse, but her lasting fame rests on the many books she produced on various aspects of mysticism. The most famous of these is Mysticism , which was first published in 1911. Among her other fine works are: The Mystic Way (1913), Practical Mysticism (1915), The Essentials of Mysticism (1920), The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today (1922), Concerning the Inner Life (1926), Man and the Supernatural (1927), and The House of the Soul (1929). First published in 1911, Mysticism remains the classic in its field and was lauded by The Princeton Theological Review as "brilliantly written [and] illuminated with numerous well-chosen extracts . . . used with exquisite skill." Mysticism makes an in-depth and comprehensive exploration of its subject. Part One examines "The Mystic Fact," explaining the relation of mysticism to vitalism, to psychology, to theology, to symbolism, and to magic. Part Two, "The Mystic Way," explores the awakening, purification, and illumination of the self; discusses voices and visions; and delves into manifestations from ecstasy and rapture to the dark night of the soul. Rounding out the book are a useful Appendix, and an exhaustive Bibliography.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Long considered a classic and essential work on the subject of mysticism, Evelyn Underhill presents her insightful and original theories on the nature of the mystic state. Underhill bases her examples primarily on Christian Saints, but she also mentions mystic examples in Sufism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religious belief systems. The book is divided into two sections, "The Mystic Fact" and "The Mystic Way." The Mystic Fact explores the theological, psychological, and philosophical aspects of mysticism, and The Mystic Way explores applied mysticism as a means for spiritual growth. A must read for any student of spirituality, and higher states of consciousness.
