Sarah Al-Taher presents a working paper on 'Prologi in Opus tripartitum – the systematic thinking of Meister eckhart'

In this paper I approach the systematic thinking of Meister Eckhart in his latin work, especially in his general introduction to the three parts of his latin work ( ›Prologi in Opus tripartitum‹.). I concentrate mostly on the first part which deals with 14 theses. These 14 theses are divided into opposite terms. The most important one being “being” and “nothing”. I try to analyse Eckhart’s dualistic thinking by maintaining a unified prin-ciple. The Question of the understanding of “being”, “nothing” and “not-being” stand in the centre of this paper, as they can give an under-standing to Eckhart’s systematic thinking. Thus, allowing to analyse the concept of deficiency and love within Eckhart’s work in a next step.
