In two short essays, both entitled “Effing the ineffable”, Scruton framed his discussion of moments of revelation with reference to the medieval Christian mystical discourse. Introducing the medieval discussion of this topic, this study provides an analysis of Scruton’s approach to the theme. In tune with the traditional discourse on revelation, his general aim was to demonstrate that there are ways of revealing important truths about the supernatural, of the world “beyond the window”, that do not require words to be pronounced. He calls our experiences of such phenomena moments of revelation and identifies four different transitory sources of revelation. This study deals with them one by one, after considering whether it is right to label such a revelation transcendental. The four sources of Scruton’s moments of revelation are natural beauty, the beauty of painting, the beauty of music, and personal encounters. The first three examples are connected to his thoughts on art and beauty as a substitute of divine revelation. Perhaps the most surprising of these is the last ones, moments of intersubjective human relationships, “our knowledge of each other”. Relying on both Buber and Levinas, Scruton makes the strong claim that it is in the other that we can experience that world “beyond the window”. His phenomenological exploration of human encounters sheds light on concepts like grace, shekhinah, or real presence and gift. He explains the Christian understanding of the human–divine relationship as well along the lines of the nature of interpersonal human relationship, both of them being in a certain sense, he claims, transcendental. From grace, his account moves forward to self-sacrifice and finally arrives at his idiosyncratic understanding of gratefulness for life. His moments of revelation in art and interpersonal exchange turn out to be, indeed, late and secular versions of the Christian understanding of revelation. In its summary, this study claims that revelation, understood by Scruton as a form of general human experience, allows to catch a glimpse of that which is beyond the window, by the direct, sensually based experience of either the existence of another person or of the beauty of nature and art. true true INTERNATIONAL 2024 true true true false true false GOLD 2026-05-23 true https://doi.org/10.3390/rel15040485 2 0 1 1 0 2 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 2 0 0 2 2 1 1 0 1 1 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 1 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 Könyv Book 23 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 1 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 0 0 0 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 0 0 Könyv Book 23 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 0 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 0 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 0 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 0 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 0 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 0 0 2025 0 2 2 2 2 D1 C nemzetközi false 10008876 false false false 2024-04-15T12:43:13.135+0000 Politika- és Államelméleti Kutatóintézet (NKE / EJKK) 1 22 1 1 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 116213507 /api/authorship/116213507 Hörcher, Ferenc ✉ [Hörcher, Ferenc (Politikai filozóf...), szerző] Politika- és Államelméleti Kutatóintézet (NKE / EJKK) 1 1.0 true false true Author 10008876 /api/author/10008876 Hörcher Ferenc (Politikai filozófia, esztétika) Hörcher Ferenc true 10008876 true Hörcher Ferenc true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Szerző 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 26013628 /api/publicationidentifier/26013628 DOI: 10.3390/rel15040485 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 DOI true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true GOLD true IDENTICAL 10.3390/rel15040485 https://doi.org/10.3390/rel15040485 false true PublicationIdentifier 26352399 /api/publicationidentifier/26352399 NKE Közszolgálati Tudásportál: 25371 SwordSource 10008 /api/publicationsource/10008 NKE Közszolgálati Tudásportál PublicationSourceType 10007 /api/publicationsourcetype/10007 Repozitórium true true true NKE Közszolgálati Tudásportál Közszolgálati Tudásportál https://tudasportal.uni-nke.hu/xmlui/handle/20.500.12944/@@@ true true true GREEN true IDENTICAL 25371 https://tudasportal.uni-nke.hu/xmlui/handle/20.500.12944/25371 false true PublicationIdentifier 28985301 /api/publicationidentifier/28985301 WoS: 001210896800001 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 WoS PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 001210896800001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001210896800001 false true PublicationIdentifier 26134770 /api/publicationidentifier/26134770 Scopus: 85191582546 PlainSource 3 /api/publicationsource/3 Scopus PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true Scopus Scopus http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-@@@ true true 3 true IDENTICAL 85191582546 http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-85191582546 true true PublicationIdentifier 26013629 /api/publicationidentifier/26013629 Egyéb URL: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/4/485 PlainSource 40 /api/publicationsource/40 Egyéb URL PublicationSourceType 10006 /api/publicationsourcetype/10006 Link true true true Egyéb URL Other URL @@@ true true 40 true https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/4/485 https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/4/485 false true Classification 13102 /api/classification/13102 Európa true true Classification 13030 /api/classification/13030 Filozófia, etika és vallástudományok true true Classification 13033 /api/classification/13033 Filozófia, filozófiatörténet true true Classification 12977 /api/classification/12977 Újkori és jelenkori történelem true true Keyword 1555284 /api/keyword/1555284 GRACE true true Keyword 1663416 /api/keyword/1663416 self-sacrifice true true Keyword 1954361 /api/keyword/1954361 gift true true Keyword 2245807 /api/keyword/2245807 Transcendental true true Keyword 2552462 /api/keyword/2552462 gratefulness true true Keyword 3370969 /api/keyword/3370969 Roger Scruton true true Keyword 3370970 /api/keyword/3370970 effing the ineffable true true Keyword 3370971 /api/keyword/3370971 moments of revelation true true MtaRating 11507872 /api/mtarating/11507872 IX.
