The Menace Of Mysticisms

""The Menace of Mysticisms"" by Joseph McCabe is a thought-provoking book that explores the role of mysticism in human thought, emotion, and action. The author argues that mysticism, which he defines as the belief in supernatural or spiritual experiences, is a dangerous force that impedes human progress. McCabe examines the history of mysticism and its impact on religion, philosophy, and politics, highlighting the negative consequences of mystical beliefs and practices. He also discusses the ways in which mysticism has been used to justify violence and oppression throughout history. Finally, the author offers a vision for a world without mysticism, one in which reason and science are the guiding principles of human progress. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and politics, and the role of mysticism in shaping human history.Contents: The Birth Of Mysticism, Mysticism In The Ancient World, The Blight Of Asceticism, The False Dawn Of Realism, The Christian Synthesis Of Superstitions, The Fruit The Dark Age, A New Civilization Strangled By Mystics, Did Mysticism Inspire The Middle Ages?
