The Philosophy of Mysticism, written by Edward Ingram Watkin and published in 1920, is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of mystical experience and its relationship to philosophy. The book delves into the various philosophical schools of thought that have attempted to understand and explain mysticism, from ancient Greek philosophy and Christian mysticism to Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.Watkin argues that mysticism is not a separate and distinct field of study, but rather an integral part of philosophy, as it deals with questions of ultimate reality, the nature of the self, and the relationship between the individual and the divine. He examines the different types of mystical experience, including visions, revelations, and states of consciousness, and explores the ways in which these experiences have been interpreted and understood by various philosophical traditions.Throughout the book, Watkin emphasizes the importance of personal experience in understanding mysticism, and he draws on his own experiences as well as those of other mystics to illustrate his points. He also discusses the challenges of communicating mystical experiences to others and the role of language and symbolism in conveying the ineffable.Overall, The Philosophy of Mysticism offers a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of one of the most mysterious and elusive aspects of human experience, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
