The fact that Gilson's opinions run counter to most scholars is in
itself a recommendation for this book, an incentive and selling
point for theologians and philosophers who like controversial
matters. For Gilson is a genius, a great mystic and philosopher
himself, a pioneer in the realm of the mind and soul whose
originality can be trusted, if not to find new continents, at least
to provide profitable exploration. He sets out to prove that St.
Bernard's mysticism is systematized and scientific, in
contradiction to the general belief that it is practical. His
reasoning is rich fare. (Kirkus Reviews)
In the half century since its first publication in English, this
small book has become a classic of medieval theology. Directing his
attention to 'perhaps the most neglected aspect' of Cistercian
mysticism, the great French medievalist and philosopher Etienne
Gilson directs attention to 'that part of [Bernard's] theology on
which his mysticism rests', his 'systematics'.Cistercian
Publications brings this important book back into print in
celebration of the nine-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Saint
Bernard, hoping that new generations of scholars will find it food
for thought and further research.
