What progress has been made with the studies of Meister Eckhart (1260-1327), brother preacher and theology master at the University of Paris, several of whose propositions were condemned by Pope John XXII in the ‘In agro dominico’ bulle? In keeping with the spirit of the series, this book presents a selection representative of the variety and richness of today’s research. Four key viewpoints become visible. The first concerns the big metaphysical and theological questions — God, One, the Trinity, the transcendentalists — as well as the theories of the intellect. The second group contains spiritual, moral and anthropological questions raised by Eckhart’s reflections. The third focuses on authors onto whom Eckhart’s writings open, whether they precede or follow him chronologically: Plotinus, Maimonides, the ‘Liber de Causis’ and German idealism, Heidegger, Derrida or the comparative studies of Shizuteru Ueda with Zen Buddhism. A fourth way of reading this collection would be to follow the distinction and the complementarity of Meister Eckhart’s works in Latin and in German, with the various hermeneutical and doctrinal problems they raise. Readers will follow their instincts to choose between the different approaches and find their own path to enter into the work of Meister Eckhart. [Julie Casteigt]
