An expanded theory of Knowledge by Presence

In this part, the author seeks to prove that mystical knowledge is a referent of the knowledge by presence and not acquired knowledge. To explain this, at first he mentions fundamental differences between knowledge by presence and acquired knowledge; and then he goes to make distinction between mystical knowledge on the one hand and interpretation and conceptualization of this knowledge on the other. In what follows, he makes a comparison between Plato's intellectual "vision" and mystical knowledge, and then between mystical knowledge and religious knowledge.
