GOD OF PHILOSOPHERS VERSUS GOD OF MYSTICS: SUPERIORITY WITHOUT CONDESCENSION

Author(s): Marek Kozłowski
Subject(s): Existentialism, Philosophy of Religion, Phenomenology
Published by: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego

Summary/Abstract: To confront mystics and philosophers in respect of the ways they experience God’s presence we assume that they all agree about sense of reference to the absolute being as well as that both parties accomplish that in their own, qualitatively different way. Treating mysticism with the respect due to its contribution to render religious truth of humanity accessible, philosophy transcends the religion of a shepherd lordly priming his flock and becomes the dialogue which transforms the flock into a community of intelligent people participating in the whole accessible truth through their own “I think”.
