| Sumario: | Through an analysis of many different examples, Danvers articulates a new way of thinking about mysticism and scepticism, not as opposite poles of the philosophical spectrum, but as two fields of enquiry with overlapping aims and methods.

They develop ways of living with impermanence and the unexpected by letting go of adherence to dogmatic. |
