【埃克哈特大师】
埃克哈特大师（Meister Eckhart），本名埃克哈特·冯·霍赫海姆（Eckhart von Hochheim），或称约翰尼斯·艾克哈特（Johannes Eckhart），是一位德国神学家、哲学家和神秘主义者，出生在神圣罗马帝国图林根州的Landgraviate。十多岁时便加入道明会并任高级职务。作为布道者他效力极高，其讲道方法给同时代人和后来者留下了极深刻的印象。对于德语哲学术语的创制也作出重大贡献。其关注的最主要问题是日常生活中持续精神实践的原理的传播。他非传统的，有时甚至是挑衅性的言论常常与当时的普遍信仰相抵触，故而引起了轰动。比如他认为，“灵魂的根基”不像所有的动物是被上帝所创造的，但是神圣的，非受造的。灵的的原因即神性，是瞬间表现的。Meister 是「大师」的德文，意指他在巴黎获得的学衔「神学硕士」
教皇约翰二十二世将他列为异端，他反驳了这些指控。据说他在正式判决之前死亡，虽然没有发现过他的埋葬地点，没有死亡记录。
