Eckhart’s evaluation and influence

Meister Johannes Eckhart (about 1260~1327) is a self-realized soul. His full name is Johannes Eckhart, but no matter in his When he was alive and after his death, whether he called himself or others called him, he was known to the world as Master Eckhart (also translated as Eckhart or Eckhart). Johannes Eckhart was the guiding light in the heart of Martin Luther, the initiator of the Reformation and the founder of Protestant Christianity. Martin Luther highly praised Eckhart's theological thoughts in his "Deutsche Theologiae", which he presided over.

Eckhart’s philosophy and theology contain elements of Greek philosophy and Arabic philosophy, which had a certain influence on subsequent religious reform, romantic thought, 19th-century German philosophy and modern existentialism. He believes that all things are pure "nothing", and the existence of all things is God; Christ is both the focus and the redeemer of mankind; there is a remnant or spark of divinity in man, an uncreated spiritual light , through detachment and connecting with the highest divinity as the source of all things and higher than the God of creation, we can achieve the state of universal love freedom without seeking. In his works, Christian ethical thought also reached a very high level. The medieval mystics Suso and Tauler were his disciples. Suso defended 28 of Eckhart's theses and was dismissed as abbot and professor of theology. To express his mystical theological views, Eckhart created many abstract words and contributed greatly to the development of the German language. His works include "Bible" commentary, German "Monographs" and "Sermon Collection", "God's Comfort", "The Noble Man" and "Transcendence", etc.
