Book Synopsis
Vladimir Lossky''s posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time. Eckhart''s Apophatic 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 mendicant 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.
