“Andar en verdad”. La verdad como hermenéutica teresiana de la vida-espiritualidad carmelitana

Abstract

In this study, we aim to study the notion of Truth in the writings of Saint Teresa of Jesus, within the context of her Carmelite and  Contemplative Charism. We present the Truth as a hermeneutics or intepretation of this same charism which is marked by the mystical  experience of the author. We undertake this analysis by examining the textual unfolding of the mystical experience as found  in her mystical texts which constitute her mystagogical discourse. This is done with the aim of returning to the origin of everything  which Teresa calls, using a technical expression: Mystical Theology. In efect, this essay is a panoramic overview that highlights the  basis of Teresa's mystagogical endeavor. At the same time, it underscores the metaphysical richness of her thought.
