Apophase eckhartienne et herméneutique de la démythologisation
Eckhartian Apophatism and the Hermeneutics of Demythologisation

Summary/Abstract: While most of Meister Eckhart’s Dominican forerunners defend a hierarchical ontology and theological discourse is, consequently, possible for them as cataphatic theology, this is not the case for Meister Eckhart, who sets up an apophatic (that is to say, a mystical) theology. Critical of the hierarchical image of the world under the influence of the Heideggerian philosophy of difference, the liberal theology of the twentieth century proposes a different solution: it considers – strangely – the Logos of the Holy Scriptures as a mythical story and applies to it the hermeneutics of demythologization.
