Nikolay Lossky and the Case for Mystical Intuition

The author presents the Russian religious philosopher Nikolai Lossky (1870-1965) in the intersection of two approaches - personal, based on biography and bibliography, and systematic, using methods common in spiritual theology. The first part of the book is devoted to Lossky's life and work before his arrival in Czechoslovakia and after his emigration, including his contacts with the pro-Republic intellectual world. The second part focuses on an interpretation of Lossky's systematic defense of mystical intuition from a philosophical-theological point of view and his speculation about mystical intuition based on an analysis of the nature of the mind.
