Vladimir Lossky: Eckhart's Apophatic Theology, Gebunden

Klappentext

Vladimir Lossky s posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time. Eckhart s Negative Theology is the culmination of a long process, whereby the renowned Orthodox philosopher and theologian embraced the ways of thinking of a thirteenth-century German monk and mystic. While refusing to simplify Eckhart s theology to a system or single motif, Lossky explores in detail the various ramifications of Eckhart s insistence on the ineffability of God.
Is God to be regarded as being , or the One , or Intellect ? Does God s pure expression of each of these preclude the others? Framed by six key statements about God s essence, Lossky lays out Eckhart s approach to this dilemma. His understanding of the problem, guided by careful engagement with a multitude of sources, is exhaustive. Scholars will welcome this eagerly-anticipated translation.
