Franklin Merrell-Wolff

Franklin Merrell-Wolff (1887-1985) was an American mystical philosopher. After formal education in philosophy and mathematics at Stanford and Harvard, Wolff devoted himself to the goal of transcending the normal limits of human consciousness. After exploring various mystical teachings and paths, he dedicated himself to the path of jnana yoga and the writings of Shankara, founder of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy. In 1936, Wolff experienced a profound spiritual Liberation and Awakening which provided the basis for his transcendental philosophy. Wolff's published books detailing his experience and philosophy include "Pathways Through to Space", "The Philosophy of Consciousness Without an Object" (both of which were re-published in a single volume entitled "Franklin Merrell-Wolff's Experience and Philosophy"), and "Transformations in Consciousness: The Metaphysics and Epistemology" (originally published under the title "Introceptualism").
