Cognition of God in the Speculative Mysticism of Meister Eckhart
The article is a presentation of the most important features of Meister Eckhart’s apophatic theology that is firmly rooted in the thought of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. The author presents a kind of dialectic cognizability and uncognizability of God, illustrating this abundant examples of Eckhart’s Sermons. In the text, another very important issue was also discussed, namely the relationship between Eckhart’s henological, rooted in Neo-Platonism, vision of reality and the Christian doctrine on the Trinity. The author has stated in the Marie-Anne Vannier’s opinion, that Eckhart is a “virtuoso of Trinitarian theology,” but adds that he always leaves a place to live the mystery.
