| Sommario/riassunto: | 'Live without why!' advised Meister Eckhart (d. 1328). Arguing from classical philosophy and the Christian tradition, he opposed the views of Augustine and Aquinas. Connolly's book, the first to deal fully with the topic, discusses what Eckhart meant, how he justified it, and why it was condemned. |
