""Man's Hidden Search: An Inquiry Into Naturalistic Mysticism"" by Kenneth L. Patton is a philosophical exploration of the human search for meaning and purpose in life. The book delves into the concept of naturalistic mysticism, which is the belief that there is a spiritual dimension to life that can be understood through natural means rather than supernatural or religious ones. Patton argues that this search for meaning is innate in human beings and is often hidden or suppressed by modern society's focus on materialism and scientific rationalism. He explores various spiritual traditions from around the world, including Buddhism, Taoism, and Native American spirituality, to show how they offer insights into the human search for meaning and purpose. The book also examines the role of mysticism in modern society and how it can help individuals find a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Patton argues that naturalistic mysticism offers a way to integrate spirituality into everyday life without the need for organized religion or dogma. Overall, ""Man's Hidden Search"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human search for meaning and spirituality. It offers a unique perspective on the role of mysticism in modern society and provides practical guidance for individuals seeking a deeper connection to the spiritual dimension of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
