    Mysticism is about existential ecstasy - an experience of heightening one's senses and self into a sheer feeling of aliveness. Mystical experiences offer us a practical way to open our thoughts and deepen the sense of our lives, whether through a mainstream connection to God or by taking part in mind-altering experiences. Here, Simon Critchley explores the history and practice of mysticism, from its origins in Eastern and Western religion, through its association with esoteric and occult knowledge, and up to the ecstatic modernism of T.S. Eliot and others. Through a discussion of the lives of famous mystics, like Julian of Norwich and Jesus Christ, Critchley reveals how embracing the spectrum of mystical experience can refresh our thinking and help us live deeper and freer lives.Philosophical and playful, analytical and inventive, On Mysticism is a definitive account of humanity's quest to understand the divine, and a call to thinkers everywhere to broaden our minds to life larger than our selves.

    Hva gjorde David Bowie (1947–2016) til det kulturelle ikonet han er i dag? Denne boksingelen består av et utdrag på ni korte essays fra boka On Bowie (2014, utvidet utgave 2016) av den engelske filosofen og professoren Simon Critchley (f. 1960). Critchley skriver med stor kunnskap og personlig begeistring, slik at tekstene oppleves som både en hyllest til Bowie og en samling skarpe meditasjoner. Essensielle sider ved Bowie som artist, tekstforfatter og låtskriver belyses – samt Bowies død. Hva gjorde det med oss, og hvordan forholder vi oss til musikken og tekstene hans nå? Hvert essay tar omtrent like lang tid å lese som å høre en Bowie-sang eller to, men sitter i likhet med gode sanger igjen mye lenger.]]>

    A French philosopher dies during a savage summer heat wave. Boxes carrying his unpublished miscellany mysteriously appear in Simon Critchley's office. Rooting through piles of papers, Critchley discovers a brilliant text on the ancient art of memory and a cache of astrological charts predicting the deaths of various philosophers. Among them is a chart for Critchley himself, laying out in great detail the course of his life and eventual demise. Becoming obsessed with the details of his fate, Critchley receives the missing, final box, which contains a maquette of Giulio Camillo's sixteenth-century Venetian memory theatre, a space supposed to contain the sum of all knowledge. That's when the hallucinations begin...
