Summary "Nature Mysticism" by J. Edward Mercer is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. This work explores the relationship between humans and nature from a mystical perspective, aiming to articulate a deeper communion with the natural world while dismissing traditional metaphysical abstractions like the "Unconditioned Absolute." Mercer positions himself against prevailing ideas of mysticism that reject the tangible aspects of nature, advocating instead for a profound emotional and intuitive understanding of the environment. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of "Nature Mysticism," introducing the notion that a wave of mysticism is emerging in civilized nations, often met with suspicion. Mercer argues that this new form of mysticism differs from earlier interpretations by grounding itself in the tangible experiences of nature, rather than in abstract metaphysical claims. He emphasizes the importance of integrating emotional responses to natural phenomena with rational understanding, thereby asserting a connection between the human mind and the essence of nature. The chapter serves as an introduction to the subsequent detailed discussions on the interplay between mysticism, intuition, and the sensory experiences derived from the natural world.
