Meister Eckhart spent some twenty years in the Dominican convent in Erfurt, first as prior and then as first provincial of the order's province of Saxonia. Although in recent years the great significance of Meister Eckhart's time in Erfurt, between the periods he spent in Paris, has become increasingly more evident, Eckhart research has on the whole devoted less attention to his years in Erfurt than to his time in Paris, Strasbourg and Cologne. The present volume addresses the need for more research into Eckhart's time in Erfurt. The 27 papers address the most important trends in recent...

This book is a gift to Stephen Brown in honor of his 75th birthday. The 35 contributions to this Festschrift are disposed in five parts: Metaphysics and Natural Philosophy, Epistemology and Ethics, Philosophy and Theology, Theological Questions, Text and Context. These five headings articulate Stephen Brown's underlying conception and understanding of medieval philosophy and theology, which the editors share: The main theoretical and practical issues of the 'long medieval' intellectual tradition are rooted in an epistemology and a metaphysics, which must be understood not as separated from...

This volume examines how the notion of law was transformed and reformulated during the Middle Ages. It focuses on encounters between ancient and local legal traditions and the three great revelation religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each of which understood the written word of God as law and formulated new cultures. The work thus furnishes interdisciplinary and intercultural insight into medieval legal discourse.

This volume collects essays which are thematically connected through the work of Kent Emery Jr., to whom the volume is dedicated. A main focus lies on the attempts to bridge the gap between mysticism and a systematic approach to medieval philosophical thought. The essays address a wide range of topics concerning (a) the nature of the human soul (in philosophical and theological discourse); (b) medieval theories of cognition (natural and supernatural), self-knowledge and knowledge of God; (c) the human soul’s contemplation of, and union with, God; (d) the tradition of “the modes of...

Die philosophische Anthropologie des 20. Jahrhunderts ist ohne sie undenkbar: Plessner, Scheler und Hartmann. Dass die drei Denker nicht nur Pioniere einer philosophischen, sondern auch einer interdisziplinären Anthropologie waren, macht sie zu idealen Dialogpartnern für die großen Fragen unserer Gegenwart und Zukunft. Der Band liefert eine einzigartige Standortbestimmung der philosophischen Anthropologie und Ontologie von Max Scheler, Nicolai Hartmann und Helmuth Plessner. Der Band dokumentiert auf umfassende Weise, wie die Denker an der nach dem 1. Weltkrieg neu gegründeten Kölner...

Das Buch zeigt, warum es kein Mittelalter gegeben hat, und warum sich auf diese Weise ein ganz neuer Blick auf 1000 Jahre Philosophie eröffnet. Es zeigt zugleich, dass dieses Jahrtausend vielgestaltig und vielsprachig, interdisziplinär, transkulturell und multireligiös war. Das gilt auch für die Philosophie. Das gemeinsame spätantike Erbe bildete den Ausgangspunkt für vielfältige Austauschbeziehungen über Sprachgrenzen hinweg. Hierfür bietet das Buch viele anschauliche Beispiele. Grundlage sind die Übersetzungen aus dem Griechischen in das Arabische, Hebräische und Lateinische....
