{"title":"Saint Bonaventure and the Divine Order of Creation","authors":"J. Milne","doi":"10.1080/20465726.2021.1923239","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923239","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT One of the most interesting controversies of the thirteenth century arose over the Aristotelian conception of time. Aquinas and Bonaventure took two different approaches to this question of time. Bonaventure took an eschatological view of time which refuted the Aristotelian notion of formless time which Aquinas seems to have accepted. Taking a more emanationist view of creation than Aquinas, Bonaventure sought to link historical time to a sacred unfolding of the divine mystery, symbolically presented in the Genesis account of creation. This sacred unfolding of time has powerful affinities with the stages of mystical ascent portrayed in his Itinerarium Mentis in Deum and the De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam. History, although ultimately hidden from human understanding, nevertheless for Bonaventure can be seen as a refinement and transformation of the creation into the mind of God where all things will be made new. This essay explores the mystical aspects of this Franciscan vision of history as contemplated by Bonaventure.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"30 1","pages":"17 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923239","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49153203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"An Introduction from the Editor of Medieval Mystical Theology","authors":"Duane D. Williams","doi":"10.1080/20465726.2021.1923236","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923236","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to another issue ofMedieval Mystical Theology. On behalf of The Eckhart Society, I would like to dedicate this issue of the journal to the memory of Anthony Finnerty, who sadly passed away in March. Anthony was a widely respected and long-time member of The Eckhart Society, who had most recently been serving as the Society’s Chairman. The latter is a demanding role that Anthony characteristically performed with total devotion and expertise. His leadership and presence at the annual Eckhart Society Conferences will be especially missed, while his kindness, wisdom, dignity, humour, and warmth will be irreplaceable. 2020 marked the 10th anniversary of the journal in its new form as Medieval Mystical Theology, after having previously been known as the Eckhart Review. Having broadened its editorial remit, the journal is now peer-reviewed by scholars to ensure academic quality, and enjoys an increasing global reach in terms of both authorship and readership. To celebrate this anniversary, we have a special essay by the esteemed, Bernard McGinn, on Meister Eckhart, which will appear in two parts across both issues. The journal has not published an essay in this way before, and I am excited to see how this formula is received. We also have an essay on Bonaventure by Joseph Milne, who is among those authors (including Rebecca Stephens and Richard Woods) whose work has most regularly appeared in the journal. We thank him for his loyalty and the consistent quality and range of his essays dating back to 1993. And I am delighted to introduce two new authors who have not appeared in the journal before, namely, Eliza Parsons and Daniel Soars, who have each produced extremely rich essays exploring complex and subtle topics. Finally, I would like to introduce Luke Penkett, who is the journal’s new book reviews editor. You will see that Luke has already made a significant mark in this role by providing three of the four book reviews for this issue. His enthusiasm and professionalism is most impressive, and on behalf of the Society I would like to welcome and thank him for taking on this important role. If any of you would like to contact Luke to review a book, you can do so at: lukepenkett@outlook.com","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"30 1","pages":"1 - 1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923236","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43126566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To observe negation in Eckhart I will examine his principle of indistinct distinction, which ultimately negates negation itself; for Heidegger I will consider the ontological difference between Being and beings, which too must necessarily be negated to disclose the Nothing. One key distinction that I aim to demonstrate between the two thinkers is how each considers the pertinence of the Nothing in human experience. For Eckhart, our experience of the Nothing has a unifying role, whereas for Heidegger it remains wholly repellent, in the literal sense of ‘driving back.’ Moreover, beyond the particulars of Eckhart and Heidegger, I will aim to defend the legitimacy of the Nothing as a philosophical concept.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"30 1","pages":"37 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923244","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48699584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preached on the first beatitude, ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven’ (Mt. 5:3), the homily is an analysis of the de-creation of the self by three negations, ‘not willing, not knowing, not having’ (niht enwil, niht enweiz, niht enhât). Eckhart appears to have adopted this triple negation from Marguerite Porete’s Mirror of Simple Souls, Pr. 52 has been often commented on; what has not been studied is the use of the triple formula by a number of mystics down to 1700. Some of these writers had direct contact with Pr. 52, but in other cases the formula appears to have ranged freely as a kind of aphorism for programs of mystical annihilation. This is part one of a two-part essay, and will offer a comparison of Marguerite Porete and Eckhart on the formula.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"30 1","pages":"2 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923237","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48181222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I then argue that one of the most philosophically and theologically persuasive ways of articulating this relation of dependence is via the Platonic metaphysics of divine ideas. Through a careful reading of Aquinas and Eckhart, I respond to some of the pantheistic fears which led to the virtual disappearance of the divine ideas paradigm in the Christian tradition after the medieval period, and argue that a keen sense of our own ontological fragility is a good thing – both metaphysically and spiritually.","PeriodicalId":40432,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Mystical Theology","volume":"30 1","pages":"47 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20465726.2021.1923245","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42214535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
