The Logic of Enlightenment | Free Book
A Cognitive Theory Of Spirituality
Enlightenment is a special kind of knowledge or insight that lifts the
malaise of everyday life. But what exactly is it? This ground-breaking
book offers a definitive logical account for the modern mind of the
kind of knowledge that spiritual enlightenment provides, doing justice
both to logic and to spirituality. Zen and the Tao have expressed the
mystical nature of enlightenment by contradictions and riddles; it is
shown here that the reason enlightenment must be mystical in this way
is that it is complementary to logic, expressing changes in the very
nature of our understanding. It is this that makes our life magically
switch from the existentially meaningless to one of profound meaning.
For this switch to not be mystical, our desolation would have to
already be solvable in terms of our current conceptions – which is
precisely what often seems impossible for us. This work should appeal
both to the believer and the sceptic, by revealing the special
relationship between spiritual enlightenment and Logic. Not only does
it use logic to clarify what is meant by enlightenment, but it
simultaneously shows how the mystical nature of enlightenment
clarifies when and when not to use logical reasoning.
