Summary

Mystery does not receive much attention in philosophy. Although Heidegger and other key philosophers have made a place for it, many contemporary philosophers find such philosophizing suspect and unconvincing, and have generally taken a different approach. Consequently, mystery is often ignored. Thus, as a study of mystery in philosophy, Mystery in Philosophy is unique. It is also distinctive in the way it approaches the subject. Turning to a figure unpopular in contemporary philosophy-Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (c. 500 CE)-it makes connections between that form of thought and various claims and indications of mystery in other, later forms of philosophy. Unconventional in terms both of its subject matter and its methodology, Mystery in Philosophy will be of interest not only to Christian thinkers, especially Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic, but also more generally to the broader spectrum of theistic and mystical philosophers.
