Abstract

The focal point of this article is the nature of the mystical knowledge presented in the sixth dwelling places of the Interior Castle of Teresa of Avila. The aim is to offer a rational argument to explain the possibility and nature of such mystical knowledge. The introduction explains why the focus is specifically on the mystical knowledge of the sixth dwelling places and not on mystical knowledge in general. Further, the argument is based on Aquinas’s teaching and proceeds therefrom. Since this choice of the «mental frame» is not intuitively comprehensible, the methodological part explains the reasons for it.
