Meister Eckart : Eine theologische Studie by H. Martensen
"L'espionne" by Ernest Daudet is a novel written in the late 19th century. It likely follows a resourceful woman operating as a spy amid political intrigue, exploring themes of surveillance, loyalty, and betrayal in a climate of state suspicion. The opening of this work presents a theological study of German mysticism, centering on Meister Eckhart as the school’s most original voice and framing mysticism as a form of speculative theology rather than
mere sentiment or superstition. It clarifies the mystic path of detachment, interiority, and union with God, contrasts it with contemporary sectarian antinomianism, and places it within the tumultuous late medieval context and later Romantic and philosophical revivals. The author sketches Eckhart’s hidden life, the papal condemnation of some of his theses, and the continuity with Tauler, Suso, and the “German Theology.” He then samples Eckhart’s sermons, highlighting paradoxes about eternity, the divine birth in the soul, the identity of knower and known, and an akosmic vision that negates finite images to attain the unmediated reality of God.
