Editorial Reviews: Review “The value of the book lies in the author’s ability to draw connections between the work of mystics and contemporary debates in epistemology, the philosophy of science, and philosophical psychology.” — David Wisdo, Susquehanna University”The strength of the book is the manner in which it introduces and critically surveys a wide range of issues current to mysticism. Jones obviously has a good grasp of a wide variety of mystic sources, and his philosophical interests in logic and science bring a thoughtful and provocative perspective.”– Michael Stoeber, Religious Studies About the Author Richard H.
