“God is the one and only object of philosophy. [Its concern is] to occupy itself with God, to apprehend everything in God, to lead everything back to God, as well as to derive everything particular from God and to justify everything only insofar as it stems from God, is sustained through its relationship with God, lives by God's radiance and has [within itself) the mind of God. Thus philosophy is theology, and [one's] occupation with philosophy—or rather in philosophy—is of itself the service/worship of God” - Hegel
Also, love the Eckhart example. I’ve considered making these very misreadings of Eckhart, and offering a more holistic neochalcedonian reading of him, the subject of a PhD dissertation in the future.
I think the same false fissure exists between “theology” and “mysticism/prayee/spirituality”. Eckhart unites all three. His (modern anglophone) readers rarely see that.
Amen!
