Composed during a critical time in the evolution of European intellectual life,
the works of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1327) are some of the most powerful
medieval attempts to achieve a synthesis between ancient Greek thought and the
Christian faith. Writing with great rhetorical brilliance, Eckhart combines the
neoplatonic concept of oneness - the idea that the ultimate principle of the
universe is single and undivided - with his Christian belief in the Trinity, and
considers the struggle to describe a perfect God through the imperfect medium of
language. Fusing philosophy and religion with vivid originality and metaphysical
passion, these works have intrigued and inspired philosophers and theologians
from Hegel to Heidegger and beyond.
