This book sets up a dialogue between Heidegger and four medieval authors: St. Bonaventure  Meister Eckhart  Johannes Tauler  and Jan van Ruusbroec. Through a close reading of medieval and Heideggerian texts  the book brings to light elements that present possibilities for a revised appropriation of some traditional metaphysical and theological ideas  arguing that  in spite of Heideggers critique of \"ontotheology \" many aspects of his thought make a positive  and not exclusively critical  contribution.  Unlike some past studies of the relation between Heidegger and medieval mysticism  this book seeks to establish a real identity between the content  the subject-matter (Sache)  of the medieval and Heideggerian texts that it examines. In so doing  it challenges Heideggers own assertion that what he calls \"being\" cannot be called God. Against this assertion  Sikka argues that what is to be called God remains an open question  and points out metaphysical and theological elements in Heideggers reflections on being that help to answer this question. Offering new insights into the relation between metaphysics  theology  and mysticism  the book contributes not only to Heidegger studies but to philosophical theology as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651886112821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0791433463","price":36.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780791433461.jpg?v=1781843887","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/forms-of-transcendence-heidegger-and-medieval-mystical-theology-contemporary-contin-philosophy-9780791433461","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
