A critical study of mysticism and philosophy

Critique and analysis of preconception, origin and theory to solve the paradoxical of mystical experience in the logic and subjective or objective this experience are purpose for this study Mysticism and Philosophy by Walter Terence Stace (1967). In this book, mystical experience and mysticism with philosophical empiricism has linked, and mystical experience is beyond the logical understanding, but after Stace when the theory of fuzzy logic proposed, the possibility of revision for this results has provided. Other criticisms leveled against this book are Stace's preconceptions contradiction for possibility to understand the realities of mysticism with his emphasis on having a philosophical attitude towards the subject, also with regard to Stace essentialist attitude and the influence of other variables on mystical experience, unbalanced his attention to main processing to Christian and Buddhist mystical traditions compared with Jewish mysticism and mystical Islam.
