Cottingham, J. (2023) Spiritual experience: its scope, its phenomenology, and its source. New Blackfriars, 104 (112). pp. 414-427. ISSN 0028-4289 doi: 10.1111/nbfr.12822

Abstract/Summary

This paper looks first at the scope of religious experience, offering some representative examples of phenomena that typically give rise to spiritual experiences. This leads on a consideration of the phenomenology of such experiences – the particular way in which they present themselves to the conscious subject. Lastly, the paper tackles the vexed question of the source of such experiences, and suggests that this is best understood in terms of a (certain kind of) theistic framework.
