Author: John Horgan. Houghton Mifflin 2003. Hardcover & Jacket, new & unread, no markings. ISBN: 0618060278. 8vo (9.5" tall). Slight shelfwear to jacket edges.
John Horgan, author of the best-selling The End of Science, chronicles the most advanced research into the mechanicsand meaning of mystical experiences. How do trances, visions, prayer, satori, and other mystical experiences "work"? What induces and defines them? Is there a scientific explanation for religious mysteries and transcendent meditation?
John Horgan investigates a wide range of fields - chemistry, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, theology, and more to narrow the gap between reason and mystical phenomena. As both a seeker and an award-winning journalist, Horgan consulted a wide range of experts, including theologian Huston Smith, spiritual heir to Joseph Campbell; Andrew Newberg, thescientist whose quest for the "God module" was the focus of a Newsweek cover story; Ken Wilber, prominent transpersonal psychologist; Alexander Shulgin, legendary psychedelic drug chemist; and Susan Blackmore, Oxford-educated psychologist, parapsychology debunker, and Zen practitioner.
