| Summary: | The commentator (1) appreciates the author's proposal to describe religious evidence in the framework of a psychology which uses qualitative, esp. hermeneutical methods; he criticizes, however, the author's linear co-lecture of texts of Teresa and of himself, and he would not accept a binary contrast of outer and inner experience resp. a spiritualizing concept of mysticism. (2) The commentator agrees fully with the author's use of the strictly functional term "transcendence-experiences" (not a priori deciding about non-empirical elements) on the level of scientific description; and he suggests to openly use the term "revelation" on the level of interior perspective in the context of a particular language-game resp. socio-cultural group. He doubts, however, whether the author's description is fully in accordance with his own criteria. (3) The author's interpretation of his experience, which might be called a "private revelation" of personally binding nature, can be regarded as consonant with the "revelation" in the Bible resp. New Testament in some important aspects, whereas other elements represent the modern, in a sense heterodox ethical and chiliastic transformation of Christian faith. (4) Dream, trauma, and testimony are indeed biblical analogies to "transcendence-experiences", which deserve a more scrupulous analysis. |
