Western philosophy: Medieval & Renaissance, c 500 to c 1600; Christian mysticism

This remarkable work shows Meister Eckhart, the thirteenth-century western mystic, as the great teacher of the birth of God in the soul, who shatters the dualism between God and the world, and the self and God. It is not only an exposition of Eckharts mysticism, but also an exemplary work of contemporary philosophy.

Reviews for Wandering Joy: Meister Eckhart's Mystical Philosophy

There are two births, one is into the world, and the other out of the world, that is, spiritually into God... If you reach a state where you feel neither suffering nor vexation from whatever may happen, so that suffering is not for you and that all things are sheer joy to you, then truly the child is born. Meister Eckhart.
