| Summary: | The author extends the conclusions of his book "Mysticism and Morality" in light of criticisms by Proudfoot and Wainwright.

Against Wainwright, he appeals to the way in which a mystical insight would penetrate the remainder of one's experience and transfigure it in ways that have moral connotations. |
