Tangle of Matter & Ghost : Leonard Cohen's Post-Secular Songbook of Mysticism(s) Jewish & Beyond
|
Abstract |
The author analyzes the lyrical poetry of Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) through a post-secular lens. He examines Cohen's songbook to illuminate questions of meaning in a post-secular context when correlated with thinkers like Charles Taylor, Edward S. Casey, Jurgen Habermas, Slavoj Žižek, Jeffrey Kripal and Harold Bloom and others. The author also analyzes Cohen’s mysticism in relationship to Kabbalah, Hasidism and Rinzai Buddhism.
