«Las noches esperando al alba»

La historiografía de la mística y su comprensión criteriológica desde la filosofía como caminos históricos de la espiritualidad

Abstract

Before anything else, Philosophy has for its purpose the proposal of models of comprehension.  In this light, the present study has the aim of proposing a model from which the relationship between Philosophy and Mysticism, from Spirituality, can be ''spelled out''.  Parting from a conceptual history of Philosophy, Spirituality and Mysticism, from the viewpoint of Phenomenology and Hermeneutics, the development of said relationship is highlighted until the demand of modernity that overcomes itself as a constant postmodernity that consists in solidifying, i.e., the substantivization or transformation into substantives or nouns of concepts overcoming the adjectival state of Philosophy, Mysticism and Spirituality that has characterized the now overcome stage of modernity which consisted in subordinating these same three concepts to other disciplines.  The result is an original reflection that has for its key Experience understood as mediation in the context of the relationship with the Absolute.
