| Zusammenfassung: | This article aims at a reconsideration and a reappraisal of the mystical nature of Martin Heidegger's thought in juxtaposition with the mystical theology of Meister Eckhart. My purpose here is to demonstrate the similarities between the thoughts of the two authors and to maintain the relevancy of Heidegger's works to our contemporary times. It is my own conviction that contemporary theology must move beyond the pure metaphysical and scientific ways of doing theology towards a more open, spiritual and mystical perception of the divine, and that Heidegger's works can be used as tool for making this move. Thus, contrary to John D. Caputo, who claimed that the similarity between the two thinkers - Eckhart and Heidegger - is a similarity of structure, rather than content, and that Eckhart failed in destroying metaphysics while Heidegger's thought is dangerous' and ominous', I argue here further that the similarity between the two is similarity of content, and that the works of the two authors have a perpetual value, within the fields of both philosophy and theology. |
