What is A Mystical Philosophy : Transcendence and Immanence in the Works of Virginia Woolf and Iris Murdoch about?

Revealing, in an original and provocative study, the mystical contents of the works of famous atheists Virginia Woolf and Iris Murdoch, Donna Lazenby shows how these thinkers' refusal to construe worldviews on available reductive models brought them to offer radically alternative pictures of life which maintain its mysteriousness, and promote a mystical way of knowing. A Mystical Philosophy contributes to the contemporary resurgence of interest in Spirituality, but from an entirely new direction. This book provides a warning against reductive scientific and philosophical models that impoverish our understanding of ourselves and the world, and a powerful endorsement of ways of knowing that give art, and a restored concept of contemplation, their consummative place. ** General Religious Body; Mind & Spirit Literary Criticism Philosophy Mysticism Religion Cover 1 HalfTitle 2 Series 3 Title 4 Copyright 5 Contents 6 Dedication 8 Abbreviations 9 Acknowledgements 11 Copyright Acknowledgements 12 1 Introduction 14 Part One: The Point of Departure 24 2.
