In Meister Eckhart and C.G. Jung: On the Vocation of the Self, Steven Herrmann explores the deep connections between the medieval mystic Meister Eckhart and the psychologist Carl Jung, focusing on their shared views of self-realization and the transformative journey toward authenticity. Both thinkers emphasize transcending the ego to integrate the unconscious and awaken a deeper, more spiritual self.

A key concept in the book is the idea that God is beyond gender, a notion echoed by both Eckhart and Jung. For Eckhart, God transcends human categories, and Jung similarly views the divine as encompassing both masculine and feminine qualities. Herrmann brings these ideas together, showing how they can guide individuals on a path of personal and spiritual growth.

Meister Eckhart and C.G. Jung on the Vocation of the Self is a thought-provoking exploration of mysticism and psychology. Herrmann’s comparative analysis offers valuable insights into self-realization, the nature of the divine, and how we can grow toward our most authentic selves.
