{"product_id":"the-mystic-and-the-ineffable-christopher-yorke-9783836456432","title":"The Mystic and the Ineffable - Some Epistemological, Political, and Metaphilosophical Concerns","description":"Mysticism and the sciences have traditionally been theoretical enemies, and the closer that philosophy allies itself with the sciences, the greater the philosophical tendency has been to attack mysticism as a possible avenue towards the acquisition of knowledge and\/or understanding. Science and modern philosophy generally aim for epistemic disclosure of their contents, and, conversely, mysticism either aims at the restriction of esoteric knowledge, or claims such knowledge to be non-transferable. Thus the mystic is typically seen by analytic philosophers as a variety of 'private language' speaker, although the plausibility of such a position is seemingly foreclosed by Wittgenstein's work in the Philosophical Investigations. Yorke re-examines Wittgenstein's conclusion on the matter of private language, and argues that so-called 'ineffable' mystical experiences, far from being a 'beetle in a box', can play a viable role in our public language-games, via renewed efforts at articulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Yorke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836456435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836456432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.23d","brand":"Christopher Yorke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066391769343,"sku":"9783836456432","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58225be7-f161-4299-a9be-7445cb6b90c5.jpg?v=1768678240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mystic-and-the-ineffable-christopher-yorke-9783836456432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
