  • Do Mystics Know Whether Moral Objects Exist?
    I will try to show that there exists an initiatory theological-philosophical tradition, the acknowledgement of which entails a set of considerations that I believe can shed light on the debate, as framed by JL Mackie in The Subjectivity of Values, about the ontological status of moral entities and relations and the intuitive faculty by means of which they are known.

  • Introvertive Mysticism and the Emergence of the Soulful Self
    A short introduction to the idea of the soulful self.
    The soul can return to psychology as a significant concept if the facts of
    mysticism are noted (Hood, 2002). After reflecting upon the construct of the soulful self, psychology can affect a return to positivity that is no longer transcendentally naïve (Davidson; Cosgrove, 2002). If psychology as a science wishes to be genuine – that is, if it demands insight in all matters - it must turn to transcendental subjectivity as a matter of primary concern, “for it is the [soulful self],” writes Smith, “that harbors the ultimate sources of meaning” (Smith, 2003). William Earle, too, agrees with this conclusion when he reminds us forcefully that “only […] the most naïve and incoherent empiricism would imagine that it can begin with ‘psychological facts’ of common life, hoping to end with a clearer notion or even refutation of the very soulful self which is their origin and active source (Earle, 1981). In James’ notes for Varieties, he states, “Remember that the whole [idea] lies in really believing that through a certain point or in part you coalesce and are identical with the Eternal.” As Ralph Hood suggests in his conclusion, "psychologists need not have that belief as a statement of faith, but it is not bad as an empirical hypothesis." (Hood, 2002)

    How does a society fundamentally dedicated to the dignity of the mind banish certain inquiries to the realm of the inadmissible when those inquiries are themselves but expressions of the dignity of the mind?
