Critical SpiritualitySpirituality as Critical Practice in the Global Modern AgeSeries: Studies in Spirituality SupplementsEditors:  Westerink H., 2017&#160;A central issue in the study of the correlation between modernity, the turn to the religious subject and the history of mysticism, concerns the critical – some would argue ‘subversive’ – character and practice of mysticism and spirituality. Is this critical practice merely the resistance effect of the modern pastoral investment in the subject? Or is there something distinctive in mysticism and spirituality that draws it strength from various sources – knowledge, experience, desire or perhaps even one’s body – and operates from a specific position or ‘locus’? This volume explores these questions with the aim of developing a theory of critical spirituality, that is to say, of its historical appearances and its contemporary forms and characteristics.(Text by the editor)&#160;Contents&#160;IntroductionSpirituality as Critique – Michel de Certeau and Ignatian Spirituality - Inigo BockenThe Troubled Thoughts of the Elect – A Certallian Reading of Willem Teellinck’s Soliloquium – Herman WesterinkMichel de Montaigne and Jean de Léry’s Scenes of Cannibalism – The Savage Other and the Making of Calvinist Identity – Herman WesterinkCritical Spirituality in Interreligious and Intercultural Contexts – Gerrit SteunebrinkPhilosophie und Spiritualität aus der Erfahrung Lateinamerikas – Raúl Fornet-BetancourtDas Prinzip “Barmherzigkeit” bei Jon Sobrino als konkretes Beispiel für eine Verbindung von Erkenntnis und Spiritualität – Helene BüchelEngaged Contemplation – Dialogical Explorations of Critical Spirituality from a Monastic Perspective – Thomas QuartierPostmodern Mystics – An Interpretation of the Occupy Movement from the Work of Michel de Certeau – Eveline van BuijtenenEpilogue – Foucault, Certeau and the Building Blocks for a Theory of Critical Spirituality – Herman Westerink
