Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2003.

This dissertation considers the ways in which William James, Kenneth Burke, and Michel de Certeau approach the question of the relationship of language to the transcendent. Religion becomes, for each of them, a forum in which to consider this question, and mysticism in particular tests many of the hypotheses and observations that they make. Certeau and Burke analyse religious texts in order to arrive at an understanding of how language shapes experience. Burke's masterful book, The Rhetoric of Religion, is in many ways the culmination and proving ground of his work to understand the symbolic nature of language and its role in human motivation. Certeau brings to his analysis of twentieth-century French society many of the conclusions that he reaches in his studies of mystics and mystical texts. In The Varieties of Religious Experience, James considers the phenomena of religious experience through the lens of his own brand of 'radical empiricism' and pluralist humanism. For all three of these thinkers, then, mysticism is a key to understanding how language works, how desire is represented, and how transcendence enters the realm of the ordinary. Mysticism is the 'degree zero' of language and experience. It is, in a sense, language thinking about language.Subjects--Topical Terms:
