| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to explicate standpoints concerning the unity (or diversity) of mystical experience within different religious traditions. Using the method of conceptual analysis, I classify eighteen main views on this issue. The classification is based on a series of oppositions like philosophical/theological, essentialist/ empiricist, material/formal, egalitarian/degree, etc. Almost half of them still do not have any representatives, while for others have there is at least one philosopher or theologian arguing for this particular belief. This paper could be therefore treated as a philosophical compass in the field of the philosophy of mysticism, showing both its main directions and its unknown lands. |
