In classical ethical theory it is a customary to base morality with: revelation,evolution, utilitarianism, deontology, intuition and mystical experience. Th isarticle considers only the last foundation of morality, in a mystical experience.In doing so, mysticism is understood broadly, and it represents the identicalexperience, though diff erently expressed in the esoteric tradition of diff erentreligions. Th e ethical problem is that such experience does not necessarily leadto morality. Looking mysticism in general, it is not justifi ed to use it for ethicalfoundation of morality.
