Mystique et Philosophie
by Pektas, Virginie Published by John BenjaminsPublished 2006.
Through methods of philology, history, and philosophy, this book establishes that there is no direct connection between Master Eckhart and Jacob B?hme. The concept of the ?German mystic philosophy?, starting supposedly with Eckhart and ending with B?hme, actually has its origin in the Romantic philosophy of the 19th century and and is still usual today. This study focuses on the eckhartian theory of the ?grunt? and ?abgrunt? and its possible relation to the b?hmist theory of the ?Ungrund?. It shows that the differences between both theories are significant and that they culminate in a deep philosophical opposition between the intellectualism of Master Eckhart and the voluntarism of B?hme. Thus, both B?hme's relationship to Master Eckhart and the position of the latter in the history of philosophy should be revised.
