Meister Eckhart

Have you read his sermons, /li/? In his "History of philosophy", Hegel defines Eckhart as the initiator of german philosophy.

I've read bits and pieces. It's cool I guess. Doesn't really speak to me.

huh, I didn't know aaron eckhart wrote philosophy. truly a renaissance man

[Anonymous No.10666649]

Hegel praises a lot of his Christian predecessors so I just skipped Hegel and went straight to Ekhart and Bohme.

Why read an edgy Christian German? Guy even got discarded by the Church, so his influence is abysmal.

clearly not. He influenced german idealism, and Schopenhauer claims Eckhart's though is on the same line of that of Buddha.

You should read Hegel too.

He's also not edgy at all. You're just a pleb.

He's dead, how the hell would he speak to you?

He speaks to me.
We share the same ground ;)

He sounds like some sort of Buddhist/Vedantist spawned in the wrong country at times.

I haven't read much of him but what I have read feels really good for some reason.
