This study proposes to present Meister Eckhart's metaphysics in the systematic way and to identify a common fundament which displays that his speculative Latin language and the pictorial expressions used in the German writings are compatible with each other. The innovative aspect of this study is manifested by the attitude of systematization on the basis of the medieval language models. This attitude identifies the way of understanding of Meister Eckhart's sentences which have a predicative structure and are at the same time the main theses of his metaphysics. The predication can be understood according to the inhaerentia-theory or the identity-theory that makes different Senses of a same sentence. It yields the important results for the reception of God according to Eckhart and his specific position to negative theology. In the last part of the book it is presented what an impact the predication has on the main theses of Eckhart's metaphysics, on the metaphysics, which - as it is exemplarily demonstrated - is constitutive also for his German writings.
