520 |a This is a clear, at times beautifully written series of reflections on traditions of ‘sceptical mysticism’ within both Western and eastern religious, literary, and philosophical traditions. The writer is at once an academic and an artist, and the commentaries—largely related to the Christian and Buddhist traditions—are interspersed with careful illustrations and passages from his own life and experiences, making this book both informative and a beautiful exercise in meditative thinking and practice. It would be an excellent book to offer to students or those seeking an introduction to the practice and literature of mysticism.
