✦ How are atheistic critiques a great help to mystical understanding?
✦ And what subtler way of knowing goes beyond all concepts?
✱
In this video essay, I discuss Michael Buckley's excellent book "Denying and Disclosing God: The Ambiguous Progress of Modern Atheism."
In particular, I examine
★ how one common argument for atheism starting in the nineteenth century made inroads
★ how mysticism has taken this atheistic argument to heart
★ why another human faculty (seemingly yet not totally lost) is necessary in order to apprehend the Divine Source
I conclude with a thought experiment that intends to point to that which some sages call "God."
