Abstract
My epilogue reinforces the interdisciplinary nature of my book’s ethics of reading, which builds upon critical theory, spiritual practice, and precept. It examines the role played by new-age spiritualists as well as cultural critics such as Lata Mani, and hospice workers such as Stephen Levine, and Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche, in creating a new vocabulary and epistemology for critical interpretation. Finally, it reiterates the important point that creating an integrative critical language has radical implications for the implementation of social policy and justice in the world today.
