Anthropological doctrine by Mechtchild von Magdeburg in the context of medieval mystical tradition

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of reconstruction of the mystical doctrine by Mechtchild von Magdeburg in the context of European mysticism. The author proves that this doctrine embraces two ontological themes: metaphysics of light and dialectics of stream. Such ontology creates the foundation for a unique anthropological conception, revealed in this research through the pragmatic dimension of mystical discourse.
