Sarah Al-Taher is going to present a working paper on 'An approach to the concept of lack/deficiency and its meaning in Meister Eckhart's work'

In this paper I try to develop a concept of “deficiency” (Mangel) in the German Work of Meister Eckhart. Looking into the Concept of deficiency in all its variations, leads to the necessity of also considering Eckhart’s use of the Terms „Nothing“ and „Being“.
I divided the relevant texts of Eckhart into two categories: (1)Metaphysical, ontological questions and (2) texts about virtue. This allows a wide Concept of deficiency which will be discussed it the paper.
