Beskrivning
Vladimir Lossky’s posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time.Vladimir Lossky's posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time. Eckhart's Apophatic Theology is the culmination of a long process, whereby the renowned Orthodox philosopher and theologian embraced the ways of thinking of a thirteenth-century German mendicant and mystic. While refusing to simplify Eckhart's theology to a system or single motif, Lossky explores in detail the various ramifications of Eckhart's insistence on the ineffability of God.Is God to be regarded as 'being', or the 'One', or 'Intellect'? Does God's pure expression of each of these preclude the others? Framed by six key statements about God's essence, Lossky lays out Eckhart's approach to this dilemma. His understanding of the problem, guided by careful engagement with a multitude of sources, is exhaustive. Scholars will welcome this eagerly-anticipated translation.

Mer om författaren

Vladimir Lossky (1903-58) was an influential Eastern Orthodox theologian. Born in Germany, he grew up in St Petersburg, Russia, but spent most of his adult life in exile in Paris, where he taught dogmatic theology at the St Dionysus Institute in Paris and the Orthodox Institute of St Irene. Among his best-known works is The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church, also published by James Clarke & Co.

Recensioner i media

Theologians have always insisted that God is ineffable. But what does it mean to say this? One of the premier explorations of this paradox is Vladimir Lossky's Eckhart's Apophatic Theology. Written more than sixty years ago, and now made available in this accurate and elegant English translation, this classic work will inspire renewed attention to the German Dominican and to the problem of unsaying God.
