Short description:
InMysticism and Morality author Richard Jones explores an often neglected area of comparative religious ethics: mysticism. By addressing a myriad of traditions, both Eastern and Western, Jones explores the question: Is mysticism moral? His discussion of this question takes him through Hinduism, Jainism, varieties of Buddhism, Tantrism, Daoism, and Christianity. Richard Jones's unique work is a salient addition to philosophy of religion, ethics, and religious studies.
MoreLong description:
In Mysticism and Morality author Richard Jones explores an often neglected question of religious ethics: Is mysticism moral? Through a discussion of several religious traditions?including Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Tantrism, Daoism, and Christianity?Jones fills a major void in the scholarly literature by considering all relevant points pertaining to mysticism. Rather than looking at mysticism abstractly, the book focuses on such topics as ritual, practice, and the processes of mystical becoming. This work provides new perspectives for those interested in ethics and will prove essential to anyone interested in comparative philosophy and cross-cultural studies of religion.
Occasionally one encounters a book that seems destined to become a classic in the sense of providing a basis for much further exploration and discussion. Given its wide scope and impeccable scholarship, Mysticism and Morality is such a book.
