Ecstasy in Secular and Religious Experiences

By Marghanita Laski

- Default Title
Description
From Introduction written by the The first part discusses the methods by which texts were obtained and analysed. Based on the results of the analyses I put forward criteria for the experiences I shall accept as ecstatic ones. In the second part of the book I examine ecstatic experiences in detail, drawing, for evidence, principally upon my texts but also on other accounts of similar experiences. The third part is largely speculative. In it I discuss the results of ecstatic experiences with particular reference to beliefs that arise as a result of these experiences. Finally I summarize my findings and make suggestions for further specialized study. 544 pages.
