The Study and Review of Single Experience

Summary

The review of the book 'The Single Experience' highlights its shortcomings in addressing the theoretical foundations of wisdom within the philosophy of mysticism. Despite discussing various religious views, the author makes incorrect claims, such as denying the unity of existence in Judaism. The lack of attention to constructivism and philosophia perennis undermines the book's validity, though exploring single experiences may foster convergence among religions.

Abstract

Philosophy of mysticism is a branch of philosophy and one of the topics of interest to studies of mysticism. In this field are proposed three theories of constructivism, philosophia perennis, and non-intentionality. People are counted like Stacey, James from the first theory processors, and Katz is one of the proposers of the second theory and Foreman of third theory designers. In reviewing the book of The Single Experience, one of the new works on the philosophy of mysticism, we concluded that the author, despite many efforts, did not mention the theoretical foundations of wisdom, while at the same time explaining the views of religions on the subject and sometimes making incorrect claims about them. For example, somewhere in the book is denying the existence, the unity of existence in the Jewish religion that is wrong. The book’s lack of careful attention to theories of constructivism and philosophia perennis that are directly related to this subject has diminished the validity of the book. Of course, addressing a single experience can also help to extend this topic and preparation of convergence between religions and their followers and be a step towards deepening religious beliefs.
