Philosopher Simon Critchley's meticulous exploration of transcendent experience offers a captivating overview of Christianity's remarkable outliers. "Book of the Day," Guardian "A playful, profound new study of mysticism... generous and animated," Brian Dillon "Mysticism is about existential ecstasy - an experience of heightening one's senses and self into a sheer feeling of aliveness," Mysticism is a profound exploration of the history and practice of mysticism, tracing its origins in Eastern and Western religion, its association with esoteric and occult knowledge, and its ecstatic modernism in the works of T.S. Eliot and others. Through a discussion of the lives of famous mystics, such as Julian of Norwich and Jesus Christ, Critchley reveals how embracing the spectrum of mystical experience can refresh our thinking and help us live deeper and freer lives. Philosophical and playful, analytical and inventive, On Mysticism is a definitive account of humanity's quest to understand the divine, and a call to thinkers everywhere to broaden our minds to life larger than our selves.
