http://www.douglas.bc.ca/programs/philosophy/faculty/angel/enlight.html Enlightenment East and West by Leonard Angel Suny Press 1994 This book shows that mysticism is incomplete without scientific rationalism, and that our current social and political projects cannot be completed without assimilating the values and practices of mysticism. It develops a comprehensive ethical framework whose vocabulary will be immediately recognizable to people of all cultures, and which permits fruitful dialogue to take place between people no matter how divergent their backgrounds and values. It then develops a novel theory of mystical experiential types, and uses that theory to show that mystical experience is of fundamental importance for the philosophy of mind and value theory. The book also suggests a new view of the relationship between religious life and ethical life, mystical practice and social process, science and mysticism, and of the directions of history.
