Mystical Experience as a Pure Knowledge Event

Knowledge is located in the conceptual cycle of indefinable. Nothing has been so impressive in expanding the ambiguity and darkness of a subject matter as clear as the definition of knowledge attempted by philosophers. On account of such difficulties, most philosophers have cared for the content of knowledge rather than defining it. According to the ideas of a lot of western philosophers, knowledge is always unintelligible; therefore, they believe that talking over knowledge without source is something meaningless. But in mysticism the subject is totally vice versa. In pure and supreme mystical experience, the notional application of intelligibility about such events is not logical and justified because a number of mystics use the word knowledge as an indication to the experience that lacks any intelligible content. Thus, in order to take the claims of mystics into account, we should dedicate some space for knowledge in out definition of knowledge which only the mankind can firmly stand on his knowledge without any content. The present paper endeavors to clarify such claims by mystics. Key words: Knowledge; pure knowledge; mystical experience; structuralism.
