What is this 'principle' (principium) in which God is said tohave created heaven and earth? This is the first question Eckhart posesat the very beginning of his Commentary on Genesis. In the courseof this book a space is opened up in order to speak about therelationship between God and creation in a 'principial' way. Tracing theconcept as it is used throughout his Latin (and, on occasion, German)works, the panoply and resonance of its use establish the necessaryplace of principium within the vocabulary of Eckhart'smetaphysics of creation and generation. Ranging from the nature of beingto the question of what constitutes human personhood, the 'principle'serves to identify Eckhart's teaching on the mutual compenetrationbetween God and man.

This book has been awarded the FIITManfred Lautenschlaeger Prize for Theological Promise by the Universityof Heidelberg.
