This thesis is supported through a comparative analysis of Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen (rdzogs-chen) and the medieval German mysticism of Eckhart, Suso, and Tauler. These traditions are interpreted using a system/cybernetic model of consciousness. This model provides a theoretical framework for assessing the cognitive effects of mystical doctrines and practices and showing how different doctrines and practices may nevertheless initiate common transformative processes. This systems approach contributes to current philosophical discourse on mysticism by (1) making possible a precise analysis of the cognitive effects of mystical doctrines and practices, and (2) reconciling mystical heterogeneity with the essential unity of mystical traditions.Studies in the history of religions ;107.MysticismComparative studiesMysticismChinaTibet Autonomous RegionMysticismGermanyElectronic books.MysticismMysticismMysticism248.2/2/094309023Studstill Randall883227MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451192403321The unity of mystical traditions1972903UNINA01400nas 2200457- 450 991076759630332120241018213017.00718-591X(OCoLC)659136869(CKB)110992357306038(CONSER)--2024240086(DE-599)ZDB2845977-5(EXLCZ)9911099235730603820100827a19719999 --- bspaurun||||a|a||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRevista de derechoConcepción [Chile] :Escuela de Derecho, Universidad de Concepción,1971-1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedRefereed/Peer-reviewed0303-9986 LawChilePeriodicalsDroitChiliPériodiquesLawfast(OCoLC)fst00993678Chilefasthttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39QbtfRFbvHH9JJMfwqG33tTBPeriodicals.fastLawDroitLaw.349.83/05348.3005Universidad de Concepción.Escuela de Derecho.Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales.JOURNAL9910767596303321Revista de derecho1914690UNINA
