Mystics are often seen as
Mystics are often seen as irrational. The word ‘mystical’ is oft employed disparagingly as a synonym for the vague, dubious and enigmatic. In this convo with Dr Justin Sledge, scholar of religion and philosophy and host of Esoterica, we challenge and debate this conception.
Asking: What is Logic? How does it work? What are its Origins and History? Is it Discovered or Invented? Is there a common Logic among the Mystics? What of Alternative and Paraconsistent Logics? Does a Two Truths Doctrine make sense? Does logic require faith at some level? What happens when mystics take logic to its limits? To what degree, if any, are mystics beholden to or bound by logic? Can mystics give up on logic? All this and more…

“They do not understand that the [Logos] conflicting in itself, is identical with itself: conflicting harmony as in the bow and in the lyre." - Heraclitus
“If indeed, reality itself is a coincidence of opposites, as Nicalos of Cusa says, then have we not left poor logic far behind? And yet, on second glance, all this luxuriant irrationality begins to take on its own logic, its own reason, and perhaps through it all one can begin to perceive a common essence.”
