According to Moore, Stace also thinks too lightly about the relation between experience and language, supposing that descriptions are phenomenologically straightforward and reliable. Stace is also normative in his preference for monistic mysticism and his rejection of theistic mysticism. Moore concludes by noting that Stace fails to understand the difference between phenomenology and metaphysics, and that his writings don't provide solutions to the philosophical problems which mystical claims raise.

Stace favors monistic mysticism over theistic mysticism and dismisses theistic mysticism outright. Moore notes that Stace fails to recognize the difference between phenomenology and metaphysics and does not provide answers to philosophical problems stemming from mystical claims.
