It hasn't ever ahead of been translated into English.
The difficulties and Solutions indicates a thorough?going critique of Proclean metaphysics, beginning with the primary that every one that exists proceeds from a unmarried reason, continuing to critique the Proclean triadic view of procession and throwback, and seriously undermining the prestige of highbrow reversion in setting up being because the intelligible item.

En Vida, los angeles mirada de Heinrich Seuse, cargada de un acento claramente cristocéntrico, le lleva a reinterpretar buena parte del pensamiento de su maestro Eckhart a partir del sufrimiento de Cristo y de su necesaria imitación. los angeles alta escuela del abandono (gelassenheit) por él pregonada enseña al ser humano a mirarse en el espejo del Cristo de los angeles Pasión para, conformando su imagen a los angeles de Cristo, transformarla en l. a. Deidad. Pero quizá el rasgo más característico del pensamiento de Seuse sea su teoría de los angeles imagen, que establece como método eficaz para alcanzar los angeles ausencia de toda imagen. Superar las imágenes por medio de las imágenes se convierte así en una mistagogía destinada a mostrar l. a. verdadera brecha que lleva a l. a. Deidad.
