In Mystical Society Philip Wexler, a well-known critical theorist
with a background in social psychology and a special interest in
spirituality, examines the revitalization of spirituality
manifesting itself in society and in education. Describing what he
calls "cultural changes toward the sacred," he documents a cultural
shift, brought about by technological and societal changes, toward
a new mysticism. Wexler explores the meaning for this new
spirituality for our daily lives, for social theory, and for
education. From the pervasiveness of a spiritual vernacular to the
integration of spiritual practices into our highly individualized
and technologized lives, Wexler lays out the evidence for a growing
movement, and then draws parallels to periods of mystical
revitalization from the past. In the course of this discussion, he
draws on the work of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, as well as from
contemporary social theory.
