Philosophical and mystical studies of the world about a woman.
Abstract
The object of the research in this article is the image of a woman and her role in the mystical studies of the world. The author distinguishes two types of mysticism – immanent and transcendental immanent. The immanent mysticism sees a woman as quintessence of the material world. There are three options for treating a woman (monism, holism, integration), which depends оn the attitude to the intersubordination of ideal and material being. The transcendental immanent mysticism sees a woman as a person. Only the path of integration, the synergistic union of the Creator and creation is possible here, which results in the transformation of the imperfect person in the image and likeness of the Divine absolute personality.
