… Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: A seminal 12,000 word essay on the modern condition from John C Wright. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
The essay is often insightful, but to call contemporary "spirituality" mysticism is not only misleading, but flat-out wrong. I suggest taking a look at William Johnston' s Mystical Theology: The Science of Love. Johnston is a Jesuit priest and a great person. St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi were all mystics. None of them were nihilists.
