埃柯哈特大师

**艾克哈特大師**（德語：Meister Eckhart），本名**艾克哈特・馮・霍赫海姆**（德語：Eckhart von Hochheim），或稱**約翰尼斯・艾克哈特**（德語：Johannes Eckhart），是一位德國神學家、哲學家和神秘主義者，出生在神聖羅馬帝國圖林根邦的 Landgraviate。十多歲時便加入道明會並任高級職務。作為布道者他效力極高，其講道方法給同時代人和後來者留下了極深刻的印象。對於德語哲學術語的創製也作出重大貢獻。其關注的最主要問題是日常生活中持續精神實踐的原理的傳播。他非傳統的，有時甚至是挑釁性的言論常常與當時的普遍信仰相牴觸，故而引起了轟動。比如他認為，「靈魂的根基」不像所有的動物是被上帝所創造的，但是神聖的，非受造的。靈的的原因即神性，是瞬間表現的。

教皇約翰二十二世將他列為異端，他反駁了這些指控。據說他在正式判決之前死亡，雖然沒有發現過他的埋葬地點，沒有死亡記錄。
