We stand on the threshold of a “transcending,” which the art and thought of the “short century” in various ways and for some time have announced to us. Going beyond the human and modes that have organized and determined its form. Multiple scenarios and multiple possibilities of this going beyond open up. And it is in this horizon that, perhaps, the tradition of what we can call “mysticism” offers tools to “generate” a new form and a new synthesis, tearing us out of the place where we are confined and then bringing us back into it, but with a different gaze and a different word. Some examples from the ancient, Platonic and Neoplatonic tradition can guide us in this reflection.
