25 years after his death, Michel de Certeau's thesis of a correlation
between the development of modernity and the history of mysticism, still
remains a challenge for the study of spirituality in its quest for
actual forms of spiritual experience. At the same time, the
topographical approach of Certeau's historiography enables to find and
to elaborate free spaces within dominating cultural practices.
Therefore, a discussion with Certeau's multilayered approach of
spirituality and mysticism can play a key role in today's quest for new
forms of spiritual experience and conscience. Avoiding both neo-orthodox
and purely subjective interpretation of spiritual life, the study of
Certeau can open new perspectives for a critical spirituality in the
21st century.
