Zusammenfassung: Die Mystik gilt im interreligiösen Dialog als diejenige Dimension von Religion, die gemäß dem Essentialismus den gemeinsamen Kern der Religionen darstellt.

Chapter 2 examines the structural break that occurs in the middle of The Sword Went Out to Sea, and the concomitant fragmentation of narrator and narrative voice. This break can be traced, again, to the merging of two genres—mysticism and time travel—that coexist but destabilize one another. Though H.D. had been interested in mysticism decades earlier, the war compels her to revise her way of...

The aim of this thesis is to define, develop, and defend an interpretation and application of the mystical ontology of Meister Eckhart. Briefly, mystical ontology should be understood as a distinctive theology insofar as it presents God’s being, the being of the world, and the individual’s being as an essentially unified whole. My research focus for this thesis will then be to situate Eckhart’s...
