This volume provides an in-depth exploration of the connections between mysticism and ethics in the thought of the prominent German philosopher and mystic, Meister Eckhart. Eckhart's mystical theology, which focuses on the identification of the self with the divine, appears at odds with traditional Christian ethics. Nonetheless, this book uncovers how Eckhart's mystical thought offers a unique and compelling vision of ethics. The author reveals how Eckhart's notion of detachment, which is central to his mysticism, is paradoxically also foundational for his ethics. In detaching from worldly concerns and desires, the individual is able to realize a deeper sense of moral responsibility and care for others. Moreover, Eckhart's concept of the "birth of God in the soul" is shown to provide a rich theological framework for understanding moral agency and the nature of good and evil. The book ultimately demonstrates that Eckhart's mystical theology offers a distinctive and radical approach to ethics, one that challenges traditional moral hierarchies and reconceptualizes the relationship between the individual and the divine.
