Very few of todayÕs thinkers have examined the technical languages of science and mysticism and asked, can the symbolic generalizations of mystics of different traditions be translated into the mathematical language of science? And if so, what would that tell us about the nature of science, the nature of mysticism, and the nature of the underlying reality both claim to disclose? In The Play of Distinction, Thomas J. McFarlane has done just that. In this book, Mr. McFarlane offers not so much an argument for the possibility of such a translation, but an actual demonstration of it.
