Examining the a priori limitations of these approaches, the book presents an original definition of the symbol as an integral whole of experience and expression, and concludes that night is the form – the organizing principle – of spiritual life. %K Saint, Juan (de la Cruz), Noche escura del alma, Mysticism, John of the Cross %G English
