{"product_id":"2940015895827","title":"Mystics of the Renaissance and Their Relation to Modern Thought","description":"There are certain magical formula which operate throughout the centuries of Man's mental history in ever new ways. In the following expositions, I speak about the Mystics, from Master Eckhart to Angelus Silesius, with a full measure of devotion and acquiescence. \"Contradictions,\" which one critic or another may further count up against me, I shall not mention at all. It does not surprise me to be condemned from one side as a \"Mystic\" and from the other as a \"Materialist.\" When I find that the Jesuit Father Miiller has solved a difficult chemical problem, and I therefore in this particular matter agree with him unreservedly, one can hardly condemn me as an adherent of Jesuitism without being reckoned a fool by those who have insight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI hope to have shown in this book that one may be a faithful adherent of the scientific conception of the world and yet be able to seek out those paths to the Soul along which Mysticism, rightly understood, leads. I even go further and say: Only he who knows the Spirit, in the sense of true Mysticism, can attain a full understanding of the facts of Nature. But one must not confuse true Mysticism with the ''pseudo-mysticism\" of ill-ordered minds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes on the following subject areas in an effort to link Renaissance mysticism with modern thought and theory:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eMeister Eckhart \u003cbr\u003eFriendship with God: Tauler, Suso, and Ruysbroeck\u003cbr\u003eCardinal Nicholas of Cusa\u003cbr\u003eAgrippa von Nettesheim and Theophrastus Paracelsus\u003cbr\u003eValentine Weigel and Jacob Boehme\u003cbr\u003eGiordano Bruno and Angelus Silesius\u003cbr\u003eAfterword","brand":"Balefire Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084650496240,"sku":"2940015895827","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015895827_p0.jpg?v=1763625805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015895827","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
