Sumario:Michel Henry analyzes Meister Eckhart’s metaphysical proposal in paragraphs §§39, 40, and 49 of his The Essence of Manifestation. Starting from M. Henry’s views, this work explores Meister Eckhart’s direct approach to these issues. In this way, the mechanism behind this reception comes to light. It stresses the construction of Eckhart’s image in line indeed with some primary aspects of his theory but based on certain omissions that may cause the historical character of the German thinker to be lost. Observing what M. Henry decided not to comment on Eckhart’s system highlights what he chose to retrieve and what to avoid. In that sense, from the point of view of interhistorical dialogues, it is also helpful to observe what elements of Eckhart’s Christian Neoplatonism Henry accounted as valuable and which did not fit his system.
