Description
Summary:In the 1320s, Meister Eckhart and William of Ockham’s trials for heresy clearly show the intersections between political situation and religion in the church life during the late Middle Ages. Still the political understanding of Eckhart and Ockham’s proceedings provide a valuable insight into Pope John XXII’s position in dealing with the contemporary theology. I processi per eresia che, negli anni Venti del Trecento, coinvolsero Meister Eckhart e William of Ockham mostrano in modo esemplare quale ruolo gli avvenimenti politici del tardo Medioevo giocarono nella vita della Chiesa e, al contempo, contribuiscono a chiarire la posizione assunta da Giovanni XXII rispetto al dibattito teologico contemporaneo.
