Abstract
The article looks for identifying some points of confluence between the Eckhart and Heidegger thought and, in turn, identifying the influence of the first author in the second. Castañeda compares the approach made by both philosophers about ideas such as God and being and freedom.
For both authors God as much as the being are unspeakable and unmentionable realities. However it is necessary to think about being and finding God but thinking about being is, in turn, thinking about nothing. In Eckhart and Heidegger God or being given means assuming an attitude of detachment and serenity in order to let secrets out, renounce to any desire, to shed of every thought and representative calculation. In this regard, both authors propose an experience of truth that is not necessarily based on rational arguments and reasons, “It does not require a reason to be.” However, in Heidegger being and entity are deeply intertwined while in Eckhart God does not need to be recognized by man as he is the cause of itself, independent of man.
