Die Verinnerlichung Des Gottlichen Eine Studie Uber Den Gottesgeburtszyklus Und Die Armutspredigt Meister Eckharts

This study analyses Meister Eckhart's doctrine on "the eternal birth of God in the soul" in order to draw a comprehensive picture of how it is rooted in medieval philosophical discussions about the relation between epistemology and ethics. Its source is a hitherto insufficiently examined group of sermons which form the only homiletic cycle in Eckhart's work, the so-called Gottesgeburtszyklus (Prr. 101-104). Through a systematic interpretation of the cycle the study shows in what way Eckhart's motif of the eternal birth as a progressive interiorisation of the divine nature inside the human soul is to be evaluated as an epistemologically justified effort. Finally it is shown how this process finds its radicalization in Eckhart's poverty sermon (Pr. 52). Readership: All those interested in medieval philosophy and its epistemology; Eckhart scholars with interest in a philosophical and systematic presentation of his work.Guerizoli, Rodrigo is the author of 'Die Verinnerlichung Des Gottlichen Eine Studie Uber Den Gottesgeburtszyklus Und Die Armutspredigt Meister Eckharts', published 2006 under ISBN 9789004150003 and ISBN 9004150005.
