This is a readable introduction to mystical experiences and mysticism designed for the general public. The topics covered include what is a mystical experience; what is mysticism; approaches to the study of mysticism; themes in the history of mysticism in the major religious traditions of the world; the scientific study of meditators and participants in psychedelic studies; the relation of scientific and mystical knowledge, mystics' problems with language; issues surrounding constructivism, perennialism, and essentialism; the question of whether mystical experiences are cognitive; mysticism and morality and social action; the state of mysticism today. The book is relatively short and should appeal to anyone who is interested in mystical experiences and mysticism today. It also contains an extensive bibliography.
