Egocentricity and Mysticism is a philosophical milestone that clarifies our relationship to language, social interaction, and mortality. Ernst Tugendhat casts mysticism as an innate facet of what it means to be human--a response to an existential need for peace of mind.

Ernst Tugendhat is professor emeritus at Freie Universität Berlin and honorary professor at the University of Tübingen.
