Notes
In almost all historical experience, despite different conditions, a group of people describe that they experienced the Truth, the Absolute, the Void, the Real, the Existence or God without any intermediary and that they reached true knowledge through these experiences. These experiences have attracted the attention of many philosophers and theologians, especially William James, in the modern period, and many theories explaining mystical experience have been developed in the context of existing philosophical and theological debates. Among these, the most important criticism against the fact that mystical experience is a pure, direct, universal experience of Unity is the contextual approach's claim that mystical experience is an experience structured through the context in which it emerges and therefore given meaning accordingly. Those who defend this contextualism, especially Steven T. Katz, try to show the relationship of mystical experience with context, from the mystic's involvement in a religious or mystical tradition before his experience to his interpretation of the experience according to the context to which it is affiliated after the experience, on the basis of Kant's construction of experience and Wittgenstein's understanding of language game. In this article, which is the second of two studies aiming to introduce the contextualist approach, it will first be discussed how, according to contextualism, the language used before the experience, the intentionality of consciousness during the experience, and the language used to express the experience after the mystical experience mediate the structuring of the experience, and then the mystical pluralism resulting from the conclusion that the experience is meaningful in its own context will be included. Thus, the basic framework of contextualism, which stands out among existing explanations of mystical experience, will become clear.
