Detachment is widely recognized as one of the key concerns of Eckhart in his anthropology. This monograph of the editor of the series introduces this concept from Eckhart’s teaching on divine essence, the principle and the transcendentals, to then re-interpret his anthropology by contrasting it with Augustine’s Neo-Platonic model of progressing spiritual stages. A close reading of his famous vernacular homilies 2 and 86 and On detachmentwill exemplify how his new philosophical theology translates Luke 10:38-42.
