This need is created by our discursive practices, which serve to differentiate us from one another and privilege our respective first-person standpoints. Emphasizing the first person fuels a desire for mysticism, which builds knowledge of what binds us together and connects us to the world. Any intellectual pursuit that prompts us to "step back" from our egocentric concerns harbors a mystic kernel that manifests as a sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude. Philosophy, the natural sciences, and mathematics all engender forms of mystical experience as profound as any produced by meditation and asceticism. One of the most widely discussed books by a German philosopher in decades, Egocentricity and Mysticism is a philosophical milestone that clarifies in groundbreaking ways our relationship to language, social interaction, and mortality. 606 $aEgoism 606 $aSelf-interest 606 $aSelf (Philosophy) 615 0$aEgoism. 615 0$aSelf-interest. 615 0$aSelf (Philosophy) 676 $a171/.9 700 $aTugendhat$b Ernst$0152453 702 $aProcyshyn$b Alexei 702 $aWenning$b Mario 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798505803321 996 $aEgocentricity and mysticism$93757022 997 $aUNINA
