The Mystic Fable, Volume Two: The Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

The second volume of "The Mystic Fable" continues the influential exploration of mysticism and poststructuralist thought initiated in the first volume. Compiled posthumously by Certeau's literary executor, it addresses complex themes such as historiography, social reality, and the nature of belief. The work delves into angelology, glossolalia, and the relationship between prose and poetry, solidifying Certeau's significance in French literary and philosophical discourse. It promises to be a vital resource for scholars across various disciplines, including religious studies and theology.
