| Abstract | Eckhart is more than a writer of texts, his Lebemeister way of being a writer even transcends a purely enlightened western reading of him, and lends itself to modernity, even to postmodernity and remodernity. Hence, this session is structured as a round table discussion of scholars who are more than a panel, but will engage with all colleagues present in a lively debate regarding where Eckhart studies are going. Participants include Dagmar Gottschall (Meister-Eckhart-Gesellschaft / Università del Salento, Lecce), Freimut Löser (Universität Augsburg), Charlotte Radler (Loyola Marymount University), Fiorella Retucci (Universität Köln), Loris Sturlese (Meister-Eckhart-Gesellschaft / Università del Salento, Lecce), and Markus Vinzent (University of Birmingham). |
