Abstract
FILIPPI, Silvana. Gelassenheit: el desapego como forma de vida en la mística eckhartiana. Enfoques [online]. 2010, vol.22, n.2, pp.63-78. ISSN 1669-2721.
The notorious importance that Eckhart gives to the detachment from things (Gelassenheit) may suggest that the mystical German disdains active life. Inversely, Eckhart understands that the detachment in respect of the created being is perfectly compatible with the action and he even interprets the attitude of Martha and Mary towards Jesus in a way which is opposite to the habitual.
Keywords : Eckhart; Detachment; Active and contemplative life.
