The Study and Review of Single Experience

A review of the book "The Single Experience" finds that it fails to engage with the theoretical foundations of wisdom and the key theories of constructivism and philosophia perennis, which are directly relevant to its subject. The book also makes incorrect claims about religions, such as denying the unity of existence in Judaism. Despite these shortcomings, the book's focus on a single mystical experience may help extend the topic and foster convergence between religions and their followers, potentially deepening religious beliefs.

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.
