Synaesthesia in Mystical Traditions: The Key to Understanding Language Metaphor and Abstract Thought

from Religion and Spirituality (Video) · host UCTV: UC Santa Barbara

Experiences in which the senses are intermingled in usual ways are a common motif in the descriptions that mystics provide of their unordinary sensory experiences. This workshop examines the phenomenon of synaesthesia from a multi-disciplinary perspective in order to advance our understanding of the relationship between synaesthesia, metaphor, creativity, and religious and artistic practices.
