S09 Albert the Great, Meister Eckhart, Women's Spirituality

Dr. Robert Sweetman discusses the Spring 2009 course "Albert the Great, Meister Eckhart and Women's Spirituality"

Course Description:
This seminar examines Meister Eckhart's mystical discourse and its conceptual configuration as a 'contradictory monism' against the backdrop of the "Dionysian" tradition of Albert the Great (and Thomas Aquinas) and the current efflorenscence of women's mysticism represented by Marguerite Porete. In so doing it explores a properly historical understanding of a philosophical, theological or spiritual figure's choice of discursive type.

This is the second of a pair of courses. Look for the Fall 2008 course "Nature, Supernature and Miracle in the Thought of Thomas Aquinas"
