My Favourite Mystic 40: Sean Hannan on Meister Eckhart
Manage episode 338182580 series 3238810
Sean Hannan joins the podcast this week to tell AJ Langley all about Meister Eckhart (d. c. 1328). We talk about how little we know about him, even though we have a lot of his writings. We talk about the "now", becoming nothing, and sharing ground with God. We also talk about academics being honest about their agendas, how there is always room for academic disagreement, and how unfortunate it is to have mystics, and the medieval in general, co-opted by fascists.
