Meister Eckhart and Beguine Mystics: Hadewijch of Brabant, Mechtild of Magdeburg and Marguerite Porete

Meister Eckhart and Beguine Mystics: Hadewijch of Brabant, Mechtild of Magdeburg and Marguerite Porete

by Bernard Mc Ginn (Editor)

Synopsis

The great German mystic Meister Eckhart remains one of the most fascinating figures in Western thought. Revived interest in Eckhart's mysticism has been matched, and even surpassed, by the study of the women mystics of the late13th century. This book argues that Eckhart's thought cannot be fully be understood until it is viewed against the background of the breakthroughs made by the women mystics who preceded him.
