Abstract

This article aims to describe a phenomenological interpretation of Christian Mystic as an experience of transcendence in immanence. As basis to this description, it was taken the hermeneutical and phenomenological analysis made by Heidegger at his lectures prepared to summer semester 1918/1919, published with the title Philosophical Grounds of Middle Age Mystic. At this text, he suggests that the mystical experience described by Theresia of Ávila in her books could be taken as a paradigmatical phenomenological vision of mystic. This article follows this indication, and it searches to presents in what sense Heidegger says that the description of Theresia of Ávila must be taken as a basis to develop a phenomenological hermeneutical vision of Christian Mystic.
