| Summary: | Eckhart's teaching on the Justice of God, human justice, and the relationships between them, are primarily found in a cluster of sermons and writings from what is arguably the mid-period of his career. Although grounded in the received tradition begun by Plato and most lately found in the theology of Thomas Aquinas, Eckhart developed a distinctive doctrine that emphasizes the total and absolute nature of justice in which human persons participate as an aspect of the spiritual union of God and the soul. Finally, equality and mercy, as mutually entailed aspects of both the justice of God and human justice, have important practical consequences in ethics and spirituality. |
