Description
Summary:The critique and analysis of preconception, origin, and theory to solve the paradoxical of mystical experience in the logic and subjective or objective experience are the purpose for this study Mysticism and Philosophy by Walter Terence Stace (1967). In this book, mystical experience and mysticism with philosophical empiricism have been linked, and mystical experience is beyond the logical understanding, but after Stace’s proposition of the theory of fuzzy logic, the possibility of revision for these results has provided. Other criticisms leveled against this book are Stace's contradictory preconceptions for possibility to understand the realities of mysticism with his emphasis on having a philosophical attitude towards the subject, and with regard to Stace’s essentialist attitude as well as the influence of other variables on mystical experience which haveunbalanced his attention to main processing to Christian and Buddhist mystical traditions compared with Jewish mysticism and mystical Islam.
