Across diverse cultures and historical epochs, individuals have asserted a profound 'mystical' connection to reality. In this context, mystics claim an intimate familiarity with an alternative reality or profess the ability to discern reality from mere appearance. This course focuses on exploring a broad spectrum of mystics, extending from Classical to late ancient Greeks, early to medieval Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Additionally, we will engage with contemporary mystics associated with these traditions, emphasizing that mysticism is not confined to the past. Meets the Equity and Power: EPG requirement.
