Publisher's Synopsis
This English-language first volume of Raimon Panikkar's 'Opera Omnia' addresses the most important theme of Panikkar's life and the 'indispensable hermeneutical key' to his published writings: mysticism. Rather than restricting mysticism to the realm of the otherworldly or the rate, Panikkar links it to the experience of life which each of us enjoys, calling it 'a free and spontaneous attitude welling up from the person's fullness.' He also offers a philosophical reflection on the experience of mysticism from various perspectives in the East and West.
