Rate this book
Meister Eckhart (1260–1328) besaß bereits zu Lebzeiten einen einzigartigen Ruf. Und bis heute strahlen seine Predigten und theologischen Werke eine spirituelle Kraft aus, in der die Erfahrung Gottes mit dem Wirken in der Welt verschmolzen ist. Als ausgewiesener Kenner hat Dietmar Mieth in diesem Buch die wichtigsten Werke zusammengestellt und kommentiert. In einer ausführlichen Einleitung geht er auf das Leben Eckharts ein, stellt die Besonderheit und Aktualität seines Denkens vor und bietet neue historische Informationen. Erweitert wurde diese Ausgabe durch den vollständigen Text der »Predigt 1«, durch das Senfkorn-Lied »Granum Sinapis«, durch eine Sammlung von Weisheiten aus dem Gesamtwerk Eckharts sowie durch Auszüge aus seinen theologischen Traktaten. Ein Eckhart-Lesebuch, das Seinesgleichen sucht.

Meister Eckhart

275 books536 followers
Eckhart von Hochheim, commonly known as Meister Eckhart, was a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in Thuringia.

Meister is German for "Master", referring to the academic title Magister in theologia he obtained in Paris. Coming into prominence during the decadent Avignon Papacy and a time of increased tensions between the Franciscans and Eckhart's Dominican Order of Preacher Friars, he was brought up on charges later in life before the local Franciscan-led Inquisition. Tried as a heretic by Pope John XXII, his "Defence" is famous for his reasoned arguments to all challenged articles of his writing and his refutation of heretical intent. He purportedly died before his verdict was received, although no record of his death or burial site has ever been discovered.

Meister Eckhart is sometimes (erroneously) referred to as "Johannes Eckhart", although Eckhart was his given name and von Hochheim was his surname.

"Perhaps no mystic in the history of Christianity has been more influential and more controversial than the Dominican Meister Eckart. Few, if any, mystics have been as challenging to modern day readers and as resistant to agreed-upon interpretation."
—Bernard McGinn, The Mystical Thought of Meister Eckhart
