Descrizione

This essay aims to analyze the way in which Meister Eckhart and Nicholas Cusanus try to talk about God conceived in Neoplatonic terms. In line with a Late-ancient and Medieval tradition that firmly denies an immediate cognition of the metaphysical One, both affirm the clear impossibility for the human intellect to truly know the Principle of everything. Nevertheless, despite this fundamental limit, they also admit the crucial possibility of a theological or spiritual reflection of symbolic and metaphorical nature. So, I shall examine the proximity and the differences of their discourses, paying particular attention to the direct conceptual influence of Eckhart on the Cusanian elaboration, in order to underline the peculiar role that images can play in relation to these aspects of their theoretical thought.
