{"product_id":"meister-eckhart-kurt-flasch-9780300204865","title":"Meister Eckhart: Philosopher of Christianity","description":"Renowned philosopher Kurt Flasch offers a full-scale reappraisal of the life and legacy of Meister Eckhart, the medieval German theologian, philosopher, and alleged mystic who was active during the Avignon Papacy of the fourteenth century and was tried for heresy by Pope John XXII. Disputing his subject's frequent characterization as a hero of a modern, syncretic spirituality, Flasch attempts to free Eckhart from the \"Mystical Flood\" by inviting his readers to think along with Eckhart in a careful rereading of his Latin and German works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This fascinating study makes a powerful case for Eckhart's position as an important philosopher of the time rather than a mystic and casts new light on an important figure of the Middle Ages whose ideas attracted considerable attention from such diverse modern thinkers as Schopenhauer, Vivekananda, Suzuki, Fromm, and Derrida.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kurt Flasch, Aaron Vanides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300204868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300204865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2016","brand":"Kurt Flasch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119541711103,"sku":"9780300204865","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29793219-7b27-4ad9-9e71-9968a753b2d9.jpg?v=1687409857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meister-eckhart-kurt-flasch-9780300204865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
