Sommario/riassunto

"Using the views of Eric Voegelin on the nature of consciousness, Coetsier explores the mystical thought expressed in the diaries and letters of Etty Hillesum, who died at Auschwitz at twenty-nine, revealing the inner development of her mystically grounded resistance to Nazism and the symbolism of her spiritual journey"--Provided by publisher.
