Rational Mysticism

By William Kingsland

Book Overview

Rational Mysticism is a book written by William Kingsland that delves into the concept of mysticism from a rational perspective. The author explores the idea of mysticism as a way to understand the universe and our place in it, without relying on dogma or superstition. Kingsland draws on the teachings of various mystics from different traditions, including the Sufi, Hindu, and Christian mystics, to present a comprehensive view of the mystical experience. He argues that mysticism is a natural human inclination that can be understood through reason and logic. The book also explores the relationship between mysticism and science, and how the two can work together to provide a more complete understanding of the universe. Overall, Rational Mysticism offers a thought-provoking perspective on the nature of mysticism and its role in human understanding.1924. A development of scientific idealism. A greater tendency to unite the spiritual and the material modes of our life rather than to place them in opposition and antithesis is the keynote of this work. In view of the tendency, it seemed to Kingsland very desirable that an effort should be made to place mystical experience in general, and modern mysticism in particular, on a more rational basis than had been the case.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
