What reading level is Jewish Mystics An Appreciation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It had created a theology in which the sentiment of piety gained no satisfaction. . . . The Neo- Platonic idea of God in its original conception had removed the Deity to a distance, where it could not be reached by mortal beings ; where, for itself, it would have no need of creatures ; and the universe was brought forth by him only by the way, by an overflow of the divine power. Eckhart, on the contrary, was so much alive to the Christian idea of an intrinsic and real communion of man with God,... that he was quite unable to conceive his God without universe and man. . . . This doctrine of Master Eckhart is certainly not a strictly philosophical system. It issues rather from religious motives than from scientific ones ; and instead of an inquiry into reality which assumes nothing for granted, it starts partly from the Christian dogma, partly from previous speculations, especially Neo- Platonism. Yet has his doctrine, as compared with others, so much a character of its own, and it encounters the domineering system with so much boldness and indepen- dence, that we have every reason to see in it tlie first attempt of a German philosophy ; the first vigorous flight of the German mind, which felt itself strong enough to think of emancipating itself from science, as it then existed, which was Romanic both in origin and substance ; to excogitate a new form of research, more in accordance with its genius and its wants.
