About this title

Synopsis

This work is a logical treatise providing a picture of the totality of human experience. As we cannot simply step outside language to express its totality, the book demonstrates, by principle of logic, there is something that cannot be said through the logical analysis of language itself. Hence, mysticism arises as a matter of logical necessity. It addresses several conceptual, textual and interpretive issues of potential interest to specialist scholars, with the simplicity, freshness and directness of approach accessible to the non-specialist reader.
