La conversión filosófica y la vida mística. (Spanish)

Abstract

Further reflection on the conference "Philosophical Conversion", Xipe Totek No. 37, 2001; only now the mystical life is incorporated as an additional element. Points treated: Relation between philosophy and mysticism, if that is what's possible. Biblical Logos and philosophical Logos. Relation between Revelation and philosophy or between philosophy and religion. The reflection continues in terms of philosophical conversion, biblical conversion and mystical conversion. It discusses the compelling cases of St. Teresa of Jesus and St. John of the Cross and the specificity of mysticism. It assumes that mysticism has been understood as an attitude of the spirit by which intuition predominates over pure rationalism in the resolution of problems. Among the features of mysticism there are: ineffability, paradoxical terminology to express the ineffable, quality of knowing, experience of totality, transitoriness and passivity. Degrees of mystical life and its link to reason and daily life. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
