  • 1 Meister Eckhart in Twentieth
    Moran eckhart 1 Meister Eckhart in Twentieth-Century Philosophy Dermot Moran (University College Dublin) for Jeremiah Hackett, eD. Companion to Meister Eckhart Brill’s Companions to the Christian Tradition Vol. 36. LeiDen/Boston: Brill, 2013, pp. 669–698. ISBN 9789004183476. Leiden: Brill, 2013 Final Submiited Version The manner in which Meister Eckhart has been viewed by scholars has changed considerably over the centuries.1 Nevertheless, the Bull In agro dominico of 27th March 1329 already points towards the future directions that Eckhart research would subsequently take. There Eckhart is described in three-fold manner as ‘from Germany, a doctor of sacred theology (as it is said) and a professor of the Order of Preachers’.2 These characterisations of Eckhart continue to frame the debate – in other words, his connection with the German philosophical and mystical tradition, his status as a University of Paris master and Scriptural exegete, and his role as a theologian and vernacular preacher for the Dominican Order. The revival of Eckhart during the nineteenth century uncovered many more Eckharts. Indeed, the basis for Eckhart’s growing popularity in the twentieth century was laid during the nineteenth century when Eckhart was rediscovered by the Romantics. Eckhart was initially revived by the eclectic engineer, Catholic Romantic, Franz von Baader (1765-1841), a friend of Schelling, who discovered Eckhart through his reading of Boehme. Baader inspired Hegel to refer to Eckhart in his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, quoting Eckhart’s saying that the eye with which we see God is also the eye with which God sees us.3 The nineteenth-century revival broadly represented Eckhart as a speculative, dialectical thinker.

  • CONTINUITY and DISCONTINUITY BETWEEN the Medlev AL
    229 CONTINUITY AND DISCONTINUITY BETWEEN THE MEDlEVAL MYSTICS AND THE SPIRITUALS OF THE RADICAL REFORMATION INTRODUCTION The question of whether or not there are links between the medieval mystics, particularly those of South Germany, and the more radical elements of the reformation has brought forth much dispute. There is a large literature, much of it polemical in style. The confessional approach to history has led to condemnation of the radicals from both Protestant and Catholic theologians. A small group, with an apologetic approach, has defended the anabaptist cause as distinct from the more radical and revolutionary elements, but whilst attempting to distance itself from what Zeman calls 'the embarrassing anomaly of the Miinsterite Kingdom'.1 While the Mennonites have done much research on the period, some of it is biased because of its apologetic nature. For example, we read in The Mennonite Encyclopedia that Thomas Miintzer had nothing essential in common with anabaptism and was not even interested in adult baptism.2 Miintzer was certainly a radical but to say that he did not accept adult baptism contradicts the evidence. Conrad Grebel wrote to Miintzer in 1524 that 'On the matter of baptism thy book pleases us well, and we desire to be further instructed by thee. ,3 Grebel goes on in the same letter to say that infant baptism is a 'senseless, blasphemous abomination' and that Miintzer knows this ten times better than himself. Not only did Miintzer accept adult baptism, but this was recognized by Grebel, who is accepted in The Mennonite Encyclopedia as 'not only the founder of the Swiss brethren movement and the later Mennonite Church but also one of the prophetic spirits of Christendom in its great and insistent tradition of reform and revival.

  • The Strategy of Ontological Negativity in Meister Eckhart's Metaphysics
    religions Article The Strategy of Ontological Negativity in Meister Eckhart’s Metaphysics and in Philosophical Traditions of India Tatyana Lifintseva * and Dmitry Tourko * Faculty of Humanities, School of Philosophy, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Staraya Basmannaya st., 21/4, Moscow 105066, Russia * Correspondence: lifi[email protected] (T.L.); [email protected] (D.T.); Tel.: +7-9099748119 (T.L.) Received: 4 October 2018; Accepted: 20 November 2018; Published: 26 November 2018 Abstract: In this article, the authors investigate ontological strategies in Meister Eckhart’s metaphysics, which remounts Neoplatonism and the Corpus Areopagiticum, and in two schools of Indian philosophical tradition, the Advaita Vedanta and Early Buddhism. Along with differences in the anthropology, epistemology, and soteriology of these traditions, we can find similar strategies of ontological negativity and mystical experience in both traditions: detachment from the world of images and forms as the highest blessing; non-association of oneself with corporality, feelings, cognitive ability and reason; interiorizing the intentionality of consciousness, and termination of its representative function. Practically all systems of Indian philosophy were projects of liberation or personal transformation from subjugation and suffering into being free and blissful. The idea of spiritual release is also the cornerstone of Christian salvation as with the renouncement of sin and entering blissful unity with God. The apophatic doctrine of Christian neo-platonic mystics about the concealment, non-comprehensiveness, and inexpressibleness of God as the One and Nothingness, and also the idea of comprehension of God by means of detachment from the created world and one’s own ego, gives us the opportunity for such comparative analysis.

  • Drinking in the Word Dominicans and the New Wine of the Gospel Prague – Meeting of the Dominican Nuns – 06/09/05
    Drinking in the Word Dominicans and the New Wine of the Gospel Prague – Meeting of the Dominican Nuns – 06/09/05 fr. Paul Murray, O.P. peaking about wine, on one occasion, Blessed Humbert of Romans remarked, "there are wines so weak that they cannot intoxicate." But Humbert then went on at once to declare, "the Word of God is like a strong wine and it does intoxicate." Intoxication ! – what a powerful image to describe the profound effect on us of listening to the Word of God ! Humbert, in order to underline his point further, quotes Jeremiah : "I became like a man who is drunk, like someone sodden with wine, from my encounter with the words of God" (Jer 23:9). Drinking wine or drinking alcohol is an image or a metaphor which recurs again and again in the writings of the early Dominicans and in the stories they liked to tell about themselves. The image is one, of course, which has often been used by Christians and non-Christians over the centuries in order to evoke aspects of their religious life and experience. But Dominicans seem to have taken to this image or metaphor with a distinctive enthusiasm, and to have used it in a great variety of ways. Thus, in their writings, the image of drinking or of being made drunk, describes not only the overwhelming impact the Word of God has had on their interior lives, but also the effect of that encounter on almost every other aspect of their lives as Dominicans. My proposal in this paper, therefore, is to examine some of the many different ways in which the image of drinking or drunkenness was taken up and used by Dominican men and women during the first two centuries of the Order's life.

  • The Poetics of the Image in Late Medieval Mysticism
    Chapter 6 The Poetics of the Image in Late Medieval Mysticism Niklaus Largier Incarnation, imagination, and image are key words in late medieval German Dominican theology and mysticism.1 In the writings of the so-called German mystics Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler, and Heinrich Seuse, the birth of God is the theological notion and concept that brings all three terms into focus. More precisely, it is the birth of God in the soul that is the focus of all creation, of all coming forth as an image, and of the very nature of God’s creativity. Thus, Eckhart writes: ‘God’s chief aim is giving birth. He is never content till He begets His Son in us. And the soul, too, is in no way content until the Son of God is born in her.’ He explains further: This [the birth] cannot be received by creatures in which God’s image is not found, for the soul’s image appertains especially to this eternal birth, which happens truly and especially in the soul, being begotten of the Father in the soul’s ground and innermost recesses, into which no image ever shone or power of the soul was able to look. And, going on with his explanation, Eckhart expresses an overarching ten- sion between image and iconoclasm, imagination (bilde, bildunge) and dis- imagination (entbilden): Therefore you have to be and dwell in the essence and in the ground, and there will God touch you with His simple essence without the interven- tion of any image. No image represents and signifies itself: it always aims and points to that of which it is the image [.

Steiner was well qualified for this position, having already edited and written commentary on the natural scientific writings of Goethe for the Kurschner and the Weimar Editions of Goethe's works, a task for which he had been originally recommended by the celebrated Goethe scholar, Karl Julius Schröer, under whom Steiner had studied at the University of Vienna.

  • Mysticism and the Modern Devotion There Is a Drawing from the Middle
    Ancient & Medieval Church History Lesson 34, page 1 Mysticism and the Modern Devotion There is a drawing from the Middle Ages of a woman at prayer. We do not know who this woman is, but she is representative of many women in the church during the Middle Ages. She rather looks like a modern woman in some ways because she has three rings on her fingers on one hand. I wanted to begin with that picture because I will begin with a prayer from one of the women mystics. She is a very famous mystic and a very famous woman. She wrote the first book written by a woman in English. Her name is Julian of Norwich in England. We will be talking about her during this lesson. I would like to begin with a prayer from Julian of Norwich. It is a very short prayer as we think about souls of great, quiet mysticisms and the modern devotion. Let us pray. “God of Your goodness, give me Yourself, for You are sufficient for me. I cannot properly ask anything less to be worthy of You. If I were to ask less, I should always be in want. In You alone do I have all. Amen.” There were various ways in which people attempted to live out their Christian faith in the Middle Ages. One was the way of the scholastics. They did theology, trying to understand the faith. Another was the way of the humanist that we talked about in the last lesson. They were Christian but with emphases that were somewhat new and different.

  • Introduction the Sensual Environment
    Sensual Encounters Erika Lauren Lindgren Introduction The Sensual Environment Kathrin Brümsin was a novice in the Dominican monastery of St. Katharinenthal on the 1 southern banks of the Rhine River near Diessenhofen, Switzerland. In the seemingly eternal dilemma of many students, she had trouble with her studies. In this particular case, she was trying to learn the Latin liturgy that would be her life's work once she successfully became a nun. She struggled, and in a last ditch attempt to conquer the complexities of the liturgy, she offered up prayers to John the Evangelist, imploring him for assistance. That night Kathrin had a dream: She was in the choir of the church in her choirstall and an archbishop came and wanted to sing Mass. And it was asked who the bishop was. It was said that he was Saint John the Evangelist. And then the convent was happy beyond measure and received him with great joy. The bishop came in with great authority and went over to the altar and began In medio ecclesie. And the convent sang wonderfully. And when it came to the sacrifice, the entire convent went up to receive it. And when it was the novice's [Kathrin's] turn, she took the novice- mistress with her. And when she came to the altar, Saint John said to her, "My child, why do you not pray to me?" She said, "Lord, I can not. I would like it to be otherwise with all my heart." Then he took her by the hand and placed her next to him and opened a book in which was written in golden letters his sequence Verbum dei deo natum and said to her, "This you should pray to me." And so she read the sequence completely in his presence, all twenty-four verses.
