Philosophical Perspectives on Esotericism
This volume offers the first systematic philosophical study of esotericism and late modern philosophy. It addresses fundamental philosophical questions related to esotericism and reveals that esoteric ideas have had decisive impact on countless important philosophers, even if this fact has been neglected in contemporary philosophy. The first part of the book is dedicated to substantial and methodological questions. What is philosophy, what is esotericism, and how should we think about their relationship? The second section is more historically oriented, and it is divided in two parts. Part I is concerned with German romanticism and idealism, with a specific focus on the influence of esoteric...
The Mystery of Being
This book showcases the contributions of esteemed scholars in Heideggerian studies, delving into the inquiry of the mystical essence inherent in Heidegger's thought. Rather than confining "mystery" to the conventional realm of mysticism, separate from philosophy, this volume's original research investigates how the mystery of being is integral to philosophy itself, shaping its performative and transformative nature. The book's central inquiry asks whether this mystical element is essential to Heidegger's thought and how it relates to traditional notions of mysticism. At its core, however, it questions the very essence of philosophy-its transformative potential-engaging with numerous themes in Heidegger's work while remaining attuned to the centrality and significance of the mystery of being.

Transcendence in Heidegger’s Early Thought
This book demonstrates how Heidegger's departure from ontotheology occurs initially as a preparation for the concept of Dasein's transcendence and subsequently as its explicit development and overcoming. Dasein's transcendence is revealed as the foundation for the subsequent concept of Beyng as an Event, which stands in contrast to all ontotheological perspectives that assert a singular a priori foundation of the universe attributed to beings, God, consciousness, or even an independent "process" of Being that doesn't rely on Dasein. The book illustrates that transcendence is not an attribute of human consciousness or a connection to something external to it. Instead, as a "primal act," transcendence paves the way for a non-representational dwelling in the essence of a historically unfolding Being, a contemplative recollection of the truth of Beyng. Throughout the book, there is a gradual progression towards an understanding of transcendence as an active engagement, wherein we "do" transcendence. This process involves a reconstruction of the ontological significance of action, emphasizing its performative embeddedness in existence and its inseparability from Beyng.
Apophasis and Envisioning the Invisible
In this monograph, two of the most complicated theoretical topics confronting the scholar of mysticism (apophasis and infinity) are tackled. Writing about apophasis presents a unique dilemma as the term itself connotes the inability of language to name the namelessness of ultimate reality. Yet, the apophatic is a gesture of speaking-not, which entails saying the unsayable, as opposed to not speaking, which is the reticence appropriate to silence. The exploration of infinity presents an equally daunting demand as the intellect embarking on this path is summoned to circumscribe the uncircumscribable. Just as communicating the incommunicable is an endless enterprise of speaking the unspeakable, so mapping infinity is an unremitting pursuit of delimiting the limitless. The two subjects thus intersect at the vanishing point where the human mind reaches its limit by confronting the limitlessness that can be described only as indescribable.
Transcendence in Heidegger's Early Thought
"This important and accessible book is a welcome invitation to return to the unity of Heidegger's thought, and the question of what persists across his oeuvre. Kuravsky reminds us how for Heidegger it is transcending that lies at the basis of the "worlding of world", and how our being-transcended opens the possibility for understanding life itself." --"Laurence Hemming is an Honorary Professor at Lancaster University (UK), and author of Heidegger and Marx: A Productive Dialogue over the Language of Humanism." Kuravsky offers an interesting discussion of the understanding of philosophy itself as "transcendence" in Heidegger and investigates the interlacing of transcendence with temporality, w...
