| Summary: | In this paper, I discuss Meister Eckhart’s approach to natural theology and specifically to the question of God’s existence. I argue that, according to the Eckhartian position, God’s existence is not to be regarded as the result of an (a posteriori or a priori) inference, but as metaphysical self-evidence. This noninferential conception, based on a fundamental unity between natural theology and general metaphysics, constitutes an alternative to the standard Avicennian paradigm that lies at the heart of most of the natural-theological projects of the scholastic tradition. |
