access IX, 101 p. online resource. This book reconciles the worlds of mysticism and logic, building on the author’s previous groundbreaking work in oceanic logic. Historically, the seemingly distinct domains of mysticism and logic have been viewed through a narrow lens through which logic and mysticism have been considered fundamentally separate from each other. The author expands on this concept and argues that logic can be understood in a broader sense. The book reveals that mystics engage in rigorous reasoning, and their writings provide fertile ground for the advancement of logical discourse. The text references insights from the fifth century B.C. through the Middle Ages to the present day, offering a compelling argument for the harmonious integration of logic and mysticism. It challenges conventional wisdom and opens new avenues for understanding the depths of human thought, making it of great interest to those interested in philosophical logic as well as history of science.
