by Don Cupitt

Add to wish list

In MYSTICISM AFTER MODERNITY, Don Cupitt argues that the extensive modern literature about mysticism has rested upon a mistake--the belief that there can be meaningful experience prior to language. This highly thought-provoking book encourages readers to form a new mysticism of secondaries, a new form of religious nationalism.

Reader reviews for Mysticism After Modernity

From the publisher

In Mysticism After Modernity, Don Cupitt argues that the extensive modern literature about mysticism has rested upon a mistake - the belief that there can be meaningful experience prior to language.

From the rear cover

Mysticism After Modernity offers a truly postmodern interpretation of the great mystics and their writing, thus appealing to readers across a wide range of disciplines.

Don Cuppitt argues that extensive modern literature about mysticism has rested on a mistake-the belief that their can be meaningful experience prior to language. The mystics have been perceived as first having had profound experiences that they then put into words.

However, in postmodern thought experience doesnot give meaning to language; on the contrary, language gives meaning to experience. And when the mystics are seen as having been primarily writers, our understanding of them is revolutionized.
