The theme of cosmic ascent - of leaving behind the mundane realm and soaring to a better place beyond the travails of the everyday - has been a central preoccupation of religious, philosophical, and scientific thought in western cultures since antiquity. This book is the first collection of multidisciplinary essays devoted to exploring this thematic territory. Taking in cultural contexts from archaic Greece to medieval Europe, religious traditions pre-monotheist and Abrahamic, and methodologies from close textual study to neuroscience, it elucidates the trans-mundane 'landscapes' which more than two millennia of thinkers have sought to outline and indeed to explore.
