Case Study of Spirituality and Mysticism from Seyed Hassan Nasr's Viewpoint

Spirituality is one of the most important discussions in the world today, especially in the west, which the Khaledeh philosophy disciples and traditionalists including Seyed Hassan Nasr have special emphasis on it. The main purpose of this paper is to explain spirituality from Seyed Hassan Nasr's viewpoint conducted through the content analysis in explaining data. The findings of the research show that the claims made by Nasr such as sublime unity of religions despite the superficial difference and admitting the righteousness and reasons by the entire spiritual and pseudo spiritual manners and achieving spirituality is not possible so that this will lead to a sort of eclectic spirituality. This paper strives to first deal with better understanding of Nasr's desired spirituality and mysticism through his intellectual roots such as traditionalism, sublime unity of religions and philosophy, so that his spiritual explanation on the basis of his intellectual poetry could be better and more clearly understood. Then, the analysis and study of Nasr's viewpoint about spirituality is investigated.
