Including Meister Eckhart, Tauler, Paracelsus, Jacob Boehme, Giordano Bruno And Others

First published in 1911, “Mystics Of The Renaissance And Their Relation To Modern Thought” is a detailed account of Renaissance mysticism with reference to contemporary philosophy and theosophy. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner (1861 – 1925) was an Austrian social reformer, philosopher, economist, architect, esotericist, and economist. He rose to celebrity during the latter part of the twentieth century as a literary critic and author of philosophical works, later founding a spiritual movement called “anthroposophy” which was heavily influenced by German theosophy and idealist philosophy. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Meister Eckhart”, “Friendship with God (Tauler, Suso and Ruysbroeck)”, “Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa”, “Agrippa von Nettesheim and Theophrastus Paracelsus”, “Valentine Weigel and Jacob Boehme”, “Giordano Bruno and Angelus Silesius”, and “Afterword”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
