| Summary: | Meister Eckhart does not seem to have been included in the protrated mediaeval discussions about how to interpret the power of God (potentia Dei). Is this however an evidence of Eckhart’s pantheism, as many of his contemporaries assumed his teaching was? This seems, however, highly questionable at the very least. One way – the one here chosen – to find out just how questionable it is, might be to look into careers and work of two of Eckhart’s heirs and followers, especially in regard to the ineffable nature of God, Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) and John of the Cross (1542-1591), who were respectively burnt on the stake and canonized and proclaimed «Doctor of the Church». Maître Eckhart semble s’être tenu à distance de la distinction classique au moyen-âge entre les différentes façons d’envisager la potentia Dei. Cela fait-il de lui un panthéiste comme l’ont soupçonné plusieurs de ses contemporains? Rien n’est moins sûr. La proximité entre deux de ses héritiers, Giordano Bruno qui périt sur le bûcher et Jean de la Croix qui fut canonisé puis proclamé «Docteur de l’Église», le montre de façon assez nette en ce qui concerne leur commune conception de l’ineffabilité de Dieu. Maestro Eckhart sembra non aver preso posizione in merito alle diverse opinioni emerse nella teologia medievale sul tema assai dibattuto della potentia Dei. Ciò fa di lui un pantesista come diversi dei suoi contemporanei lo accusarono di essere? Nulla è più errato! La prossimità tra due dei suoi eredi, Giordano Bruno, che morì sul rogo, e Giovanni della Croce, che fu invece canonizzato e poi proclamato «Dottore della Chiesa», lo mostra in modo sufficientemente chiaro con riferimento alla loro comune concezione dell’ineffabilità di Dio. |
