Essay

The objects are creative heritage of German mystics Mechthild of Magdeburg and Meister Eckhart. The aim is the historical-philosophical reconstruction of anthropological implications of discourse of German mysticism in XIII century. The methods are analysis and synthesis, abstragation, comparative, discourse-analysis. It is considered that the so-called "female mysticism" shares the fundamental points of conceptually determined Eckhart's discourse but bears the features of religious symbolism. Research of semantic and structural specifics of mystic text revealed that anthropological contents is closely connected with a conceptual person of author, characterized as a subject of mystic experience, which is transcendent for human cognition firs of all because of limits of personal individual experience but also because of the nature of human language. Thus mysticism concerns experience being determined by neither person nor language. These dimensions of mystic discourse, having been assessed, allowed of revealing not the preceding context of the German mysticism becoming only, but enabled investigation of the conceptual elements, common for both Eckhart's mysticism and non-classical philosophy (Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida). Application sphere is the training courses.
