Rather than understanding these two formative elements of culture to be in a constant state of opposition, the author chooses an alternative path toward their reconciliation. In this way, a constructive relationship is developed between secular and theological ideas wherein they symbiotically challenge one another in such a way as to create new and\/or re-examined opportunities for thinking about God, the world, and, indeed, the self.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book first of all embarks upon a hermeneutical reading of Meister Eckhart’s defining statement that «Being is God» and ultimately arrives (via Kant, Hegel, Gadamer, Henry, and others) at a mystically informed understanding of God’s presence both in the world and in the «heart and mind» of the human experience – an understanding that defies conventional categories and static cultural identities. It is an important study of the history, the present, and the future of religious thought, presenting a hopeful image of unity and love in a world that has been for too long divided by difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS: Introduction: On the Hermeneutic Application of Eckhart’s Mystical Ontology – The Hermeneutic Method (Hans-Georg Gadamer): Interpreting Eckhartian Mysticism and The Fusion of Horizons – Mysticism as a Modern Category of Theology – Contemporary Theological Interpretations of Eckhartian Mysticism – On Mysticism and Ontology in Post-Kantian Thought: Landmarks of the Modern Philosophical Horizon – Theology, Mysticism, and the Problem of Secularity: Alternative Approaches – Engaging Eckhartian Mysticism in a Secular Context – Conclusion: Eckhartian Mystical Ontology and the Contemporary Moment – Appendix: Being is God: Toward a Secular Understanding of a Divine Ontological Principle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043651453271,"sku":"9783034319881","price":68.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034319881.jpg?v=1750959011","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/on-mysticism-ontology-and-modernity-a-theological-engagement-with-secularity-9783034319881","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
