The thought of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1327), Dominican philosopher and spiritual master, is among the most daring and difficult in the history of Western mysticism.Thoroughly grounded in the Scholastic method of his day and steadfastly loyal to the Church, Eckhart's love of speculation, paradox, and the apophatic way, nevertheless, resulted in the controversial condemnation of certain of his teachings by papal bull in 1329. His doctrines of detachment, the return of the soul to God, and the birth of the Son in the soul have continued to perplex his critics and nourish his disciples through the ages.This volume, based on the critical Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft edition of Eckhart's works, represents the first time that his technical Latin writings and more popular German sermons and treatises have appeared together in English.

Výbor z díla významného německého středověkého kazatele, teologa a filozofa.
"Mystische Schriften" stellt eine Auswahl dessen dar, was von Meister Eckhart auf uns gekommen ist. Der große theologische Lehrer zeigt sich hier ebensosehr als Erkenntnistheoretiker und Kritiker wie als Mystiker. Eckhart löst die Welt und Gott in dem auf, was er manchmal Gottheit nennt, was unaussprechbar ist, was aber jenseits von Zeit, Raum und Individualisierung und etwas Seelenhaftes ist.
Kniha se věnuje tématu oproštění u Mistra Eckharta, středověkého teologa, a kazatele, „otce německé mystiky“, který ve svém díle jedinečným způsobem spojuje středověkou teologickou tradici s hlubokou spirituální zkušeností mystické jednoty. Knihu doplňuje překlad cyklu Eckhartových vánočních kázání o zrození božského Syna v duši a klenot německé středověké mystické poezie, jímž je báseň Granum sinapis. „Nechť nám Otec, jeho Slovo a oběma společný Duch napomáhají hledat zde na zemi tento pokoj a toto vnitřní ticho, aby v nás ono věčné Slovo bylo vysloveno, námi zaslechnuto a abychom se mohli s tím Slovem stát jedním. Amen.“ (Mistr Eckhart, kázání 104)
