Abstract | Examines the rhetorical difficulties in describing mystical or religious experiences in an age skeptical of the transcendent and critical in terms of how language conveys meaning. Looks specifically at Patricia Hampl's language and examines a question raised by William James and Ludwig Wittgenstein: what difference did the mystical experiences make in her life? (TB) |
