Description: |
This volume provides an analysis of Christian mysticism during the 16th and 17th centuries, along with an application of the author's transdisciplinary historiography. It aims to reveal the "mystical" aspect of postmodernism's movement of perpetual departure. |
Synopsis: |
The culmination of de Certeau's lifelong engagement with the human sciences, this volume is both an analysis of Christian mysticism during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and an application of this influential scholar's transdisciplinary historiography. |
