Descrizione:
Prestigious figure of Western Christianism, who in his time was put on trial for heresy for “wanting to know more than what was suitable”, Meister Eckhart, Dominican philosopher as well as mystique, after being forgotten for centuries is today recognized as one of the most important figures of Christianity. Like many Christian mystics, Eckhart had the audacity to orient theology towards the abyss of nothingness. A train of thought not unlike certain Buddhist texts.
Aside from his scholarly treatise written in Latin, he delivered numerous German sermons during his travels. Suspected of heresy, he explained that he frequently used unusual language because he wanted his sermons to inspire his audience, to ignite the “supreme desire to do good”.
For the modern reader, this selection of sermons offers a path to discovery, the framework for unending meditation before the emergence of conscience itself. |
