| Summary: | This paper seeks to understand the concept of revelation through the lens of a phenomenological understanding of expression and of spirituality. In doing so, it speaks of revelation in transcendental (i.e., experience-constituting) terms, rather than simply in terms of what is experienced. This enables the development of a general structure of revelation that applies in both a prosaic or everyday sense and in a narrower religious sense of “divine revelation.” In the former sense, the paper shows how various levels of transcendental experience are “revealed” in everyday experience. In the latter sense, it examines how the divine might be revealed, not simply as the content of revelation (i.e., as what is revealed), but as a distinct way of experiencing the world (a way of generating unique types of Empfindnisse, in Husserlian language) or as the most basic form of experiencing itself (which the paper refers to as “spirituality”). |
