عنوان مقاله [English]
Comparative studies of mysticism tries to compare mystical
phenomena in different cultures in order to bring about a better
understanding of these cultures and make an intercultural relation
between them.
This article classifies the sources of the study into the first hand,
second hand and third hand sources, and differentiate the translated
sources from exegeses. It reviews the difficulties of the comparative
method of research on mysticism, like: unavailability of the first hand
sources, misunderstanding of the original sources by the foreign
researchers, and word by word translation of mystical terms. It also
suggests some resolutions for dealing with such problems (e. g.
functionalist approach).
