"Mysticism After Modernity" offers a truly postmodern
interpretation of the great mystics and their writing, thus
appealing to readers across a wide range of disciplines. Don Cuppitt argues that extensive modern literature about
mysticism has rested on a mistake-the belief that their can be
meaningful experience prior to language. The mystics have been
perceived as first having had profound experiences that they then
put into words. However, in postmodern thought experience doesnot give meaning to language; on the contrary, language gives meaning to experience. And when the mystics are seen as having been primarily writers, our understanding of them is revolutionized.
