Psychological Experience and Mysticism of Self in Modernity

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the possibility of thinking a place for the mysticism of Self within the constitutive requirements of the modern form of consciousness. It takes a common idea found in the works of three representative thinkers of Modernity – Feuerbach, Nietzsche and Jung – , and interprets it in the light of the mysticism of Self. Then the perspective thus established is used in order to interpret the mystical dimension present in a concrete fragment of contemporary psychological experience. The strengthening of the conexion between Mysticism of Self and psychological experience opens a fertile dialogical space in the borderland comprising Theology, Philosophy and Psychology.
