In this deeply felt book, philosopher James K. A. Smith explores how radical uncertainty can be liberating, opening us to another way of being. The pain of his own profound uncertainty led Smith to a surprising source for modern consolation: the mystical experiences of St. Teresa of Ávila, St. John of the Cross, and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cloud of Unknowing\u003c\/i\u003e. These mystics testify to a deeper truth beneath distraction, anxiety, and fear: love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on ancient traditions of contemplation as well as on contemporary novels, poetry, film, and paintings, Smith speaks to the fundamental yearnings that persist in late modernity, including the philosophical quest for knowledge and certainty. He shows us how the gifts of the Christian contemplative tradition and the riches of creative works embody a liberating spirituality that recovers the fullness of being human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn bringing a philosopher's questions to the mystics, Smith brings a mystical heart back to philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James K.
