Abstract

Publié en 1993 dans la collection Perspectives critiques, cet ouvrage relate de nombreuses expériences, "visions des choses d'en haut" ou "contemplation des idées pures" et autres phénomènes divers, dont certains sont reconnus et théorisés par les principales orthodoxies religieuses. L'originalité de cette approche est de s'en tenir aux phénomènes de caractère a-théologique, évitant ainsi de les confiner dans le ghetto du religieux. A partir de ces divers témoignages, la réflexion philosophique s'efforce ici de montrer comment l'expérience mystique peut dévoiler quelque chose de l'absolu, alors même qu'elle possède une frontière commune avec la folie.

Abstract

In Yearnings of the Soul, Jonathan Garb uncovers a crucial thread in the story of modern Kabbalah and modern mysticism more generally: psychology. Returning psychology to its roots as an attempt to understand the soul, he traces the manifold interactions between psychology and spirituality that have arisen over five centuries of Kabbalistic writing, from sixteenth-century Galilee to twenty-first-century New York. In doing so, he shows just how rich Kabbalah's psychological tradition is and how much it can offer to the corpus of modern psychological knowledge. Garb follows the gradual disappearance of the soul from modern philosophy while drawing attention to its continued persistence as a topic in literature and popular culture. He pays close attention to James Hillman's "archetypal psychology," using it to engage critically with the psychoanalytic tradition and reflect anew on the cultural and political implications of the return of the soul to contemporary psychology. Comparing Kabbalistic thought to adjacent developments in Catholic, Protestant, and other popular expressions of mysticism, Garb ultimately offers a thought-provoking argument for the continued relevance of religion to the study of psychology.

Abstract

Sensible Ecstasy investigates the attraction to excessive forms of mysticism among twentieth-century French intellectuals and demonstrates the work that the figure of the mystic does for these thinkers. With special attention to Georges Bataille, Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Lacan, and Luce Irigaray, Amy Hollywood asks why resolutely secular, even anti-Christian intellectuals are drawn to affective, bodily, and widely denigrated forms of mysticism.What is particular to these thinkers, Hollywood reveals, is their attention to forms of mysticism associated with women. They reg
