Features: The author, Eckhart, was a renowned medieval German theologian and philosopher of mysticism. He believed that God is all and all is God; humanity is the ruler of all things, and human spirituality is interconnected with the divinity of God. His series of theological thoughts not only formed the theoretical foundation of Protestant Christianity but also had a profound influence on later German philosophers. This book collects famous works of Master Eckhart, including The Teaching of Master Eckhart, On the Divine Consolation, On the Noble, and Sermons.
Ludwig Marcuse Among all mystics, Master Eckhart possessed the greatest perseverance, was the most capable, and was the most radical thinker. He made things that were once obscure clear. Long before the term "de-mystification" was coined, he was already a radical "de-mystifier." Master Eckhart was dedicated to enlightenment, and his own enlightenment surpassed his enlightenment of others. In fact, his danger far exceeded that of his later Luther, the exposure of the behavior of priests in the 18th century, and the harmless atheism of the 20th century. Master Eckhart revealed the abyss that all religions and philosophies had tried to conceal. Some illustrations in this book are taken from the hymnal of the Dominican Monastery of St. Catherine in Tessenhofen, Switzerland, where Master Eckhart once preached.
