031 에크하르트: 중세의 신비주의 사상가

The 14th century in Europe was a time of turmoil. It was a time of political chaos as the conflict between the Pope and the Emperor deepened, and the atmosphere was like the end of the world as tens of millions of people died from the plague. Then, mystical ideas began to gain strength in Europe. At the center of mysticism was the German philosopher and theologian Meister Eckhart. Eckhart's mysticism does not refer to magic, sorcery, or mystical religious experiences. His mysticism refers to the position that one can become one with God through rational insight. Today's story is about Eckhart's mysticism.
