Mystik in der Globalisierung

By Christoph Elsas

Book Description

In an era where global connectivity accelerates at unprecedented speed, how can the timeless wisdom of mystical traditions offer guidance for navigating our interconnected world? Christoph Elsas explores this compelling question by examining the relationship between mystical serenity and the dynamic challenges of globalization.

This thoughtful investigation draws fascinating parallels between contemporary experiences of global integration and historical encounters between East and West in ancient Persian, Greek, and Roman empires. Elsas demonstrates how these civilizations faced similar questions about religious diversity, cultural exchange, and spiritual adaptation that resonate powerfully today.

The work addresses fundamental questions about religious plurality and tolerance in our modern context, examining how different spiritual traditions can coexist and enrich one another. Through careful analysis of philosophical approaches from Ernst Cassirer and Michel Foucault, the author provides frameworks for understanding how mystical practices can inform our response to globalization's complexities.

Particularly relevant for contemporary readers, the book explores migration and religious diversity in Europe, including the integration of Turkish Islam in Germany. It investigates concepts of syncretism, assimilation, and integration, offering insights into how spiritual traditions adapt and transform through cultural contact.

For those seeking to understand how ancient wisdom can illuminate modern challenges, this scholarly yet accessible work provides valuable perspectives on finding inner peace amid global transformation.
