Abstract
This chapter begins with Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius' approach to metaphysics. Boethius understood Aristotle's determination of the theologike episteme literally and brought it to bear on the mysteries of Christian faith, especially on the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation, which became the cognitive content of this theological science. The position of Meister Eckhart of Hochheim is all the more disruptive of the conventional 'master narrative' when one considers that he studied the works of Thomas Aquinas carefully and took the Summa theologiae as a model for his own Opus quaestionum . Throughout the chapter, the author has drawn a clear profile of a Boethian type of metaphysics as scientia divina based on an emphatic concept of natural theology in accordance with the understanding of the capacities of the human mind. Keywords:Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius; Meister Eckhart; metaphysical discourse; Thomas Aquinas
