Description

The Works of Meister Eckhart, compiled by Franz Pfeiffer, is a comprehensive collection of the writings of the renowned German theologian, philosopher, and mystic, Meister Eckhart. The book includes a range of Eckhart's works, including sermons, treatises, and letters, all of which offer insight into his unique approach to Christian spirituality and his deep understanding of the human soul.Eckhart's teachings are deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, but he also draws on a variety of philosophical and mystical traditions, including Neoplatonism, Aristotelianism, and the writings of the Sufi mystics. His works explore themes such as the nature of God, the relationship between the divine and the human, the importance of detachment and self-knowledge, and the ultimate goal of the spiritual life.Despite his profound influence on later Christian mystics and philosophers, Eckhart's teachings were controversial in his own time, and he was eventually accused of heresy by the Church. Nevertheless, his works continue to inspire and challenge readers today, and this collection provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian spirituality or the development of Western philosophy.The most complete collection of Eckhart's writings: Sermons and Collations; Tractates; Sayings; Liber Positionum; In Collationibus; The Book of Benedictus; Bibliography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
