In Egocentricity and Mysticism, Ernst Tugendhat casts mysticism as
an innate facet of what it means to be human-a response to an
existential need for peace of mind. This need is created by our
discursive practices, which serve to differentiate us from one
another and privilege our respective first-person standpoints.
Emphasizing the first person fuels a desire for mysticism, which
builds knowledge of what binds us together and connects us to the
world. Any intellectual pursuit that prompts us to "step back" from
our egocentric concerns harbors a mystic kernel that manifests as a
sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude. Philosophy, the natural
sciences, and mathematics all engender forms of mystical experience
as profound as any produced by meditation and asceticism. One of
the most widely discussed books by a German philosopher in decades,
Egocentricity and Mysticism is a philosophical milestone that
clarifies in groundbreaking ways our relationship to language,
social interaction, and mortality.
