Critique as a Notion of Spirituality

Suzan Langenberg

Chapter 8 in Handbook of Spirituality and Business, 2011, pp 58-66 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Critique and spirituality are not commonly associated with one another and it is a relationship that is rarely described. Yet the ancient Greek use of critique as an art of life, as an attitude (ethos), comes close to the meaning of spirituality as the explicit and deep relationships between thought, emotion, consciousness, and inner experience. Telling the personal truth as a moral act toward the agora, the other and the self, is based on consulting the spirit, the center of personal spirit, the diaphragm of the body, the moral judgment, the judgment of taste. Disclosing (inner) truth by means of speech is a critical process and at the same time a process in which mental motives play a fundamental role.
