4.0 out of 5 stars
Unique,
This review is from: Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis (Paperback)
There are very few serious books on this subject. It is a very valuable piece of work. I personally prefer this book to Mysticism and Religious Traditions (Galaxy Books). I felt that the second contained to many themes and was a subject to vast to cover.
