Publisher's Synopsis
Personal Idealism and Mysticism is a philosophical book written by W. R. Inge, a renowned British scholar and Anglican priest. The book explores the concepts of personal idealism and mysticism, and their relationship with religion and spirituality. Inge argues that personal idealism is a philosophical framework that centers on the individual's subjective experience of reality, which is shaped by their beliefs, values, and perceptions. He also delves into the nature of mysticism, which he defines as a direct experience of the divine or spiritual reality that transcends rational understanding.Throughout the book, Inge draws on a variety of sources, including religious texts, philosophical treatises, and personal anecdotes, to illustrate his points. He discusses the works of influential thinkers such as Plato, Kant, and Hegel, and examines the role of mysticism in different religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.Inge's writing style is clear and accessible, making the book suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in philosophy, religion, and spirituality. Personal Idealism and Mysticism is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of two important philosophical concepts that continue to shape our understanding of the world and our place in it.1924.
