The question of the 'structure' of the human person is central to
many mystical authors in the Christian tradition. This book focuses
on the specific anthropology of a series of key authors in the
mystical tradition in the medieval and early modern Low Countries.
Their view is fundamentally different from the anthropology that
has commonly been accepted since the rise of Modernity. This book
explores the most important mystical authors and texts from the Low
Countries including: William of Saint-Thierry, Hadewijch,
Pseudo-Hadewijch, John of Ruusbroec, Jan van Leeuwen, Hendrik Herp,
and the Arnhem Mystical Sermons. The most important aspects of
mystical anthropology are discussed: the spiritual nature of the
soul, the inner-most being of the soul, the faculties, the senses,
and crucial metaphors which were used to explain the relationship
of God and the human person. Two contributions explicitly connect
the anthropology of the mystics to contemporary thought. This book
offers a solid and yet accessible overview for those interested in
theology, philosophy, history, and medieval literature.
