Recensioner i media

Tyler offers a penetrating reading of Wittgenstein. And if that is not enough, he harnesses this to examine both the development of the theologia mystica from Dionysius to the medieval period and specifically the writings of the great Spanish mystic Teresa of Avila. Even more importantly he returns to re-read Wittgenstein. Tyler's elegant and provocative book is a genuine contribution to philosophy, theology and the study of mysticism.
