In this episode we learn about the writings of Mechthild of Magdeburg and Hadewijch, Beguine mystics who wrote respectively in medieval German and medieval Dutch and used the tropes of courtly love poetry to describe their relation to God.

Hadewijch and Mechthild of Magdeburg

In this series of ten video lectures Peter Adamson, Professor of Philosophy at the LMU in Munich and King’s College London, discusses the contributions of women intellectuals, mystics, and philosophers in ancient Greece, ancient China, the Islamic world, and medieval Europe. From Diotima to Christine de Pizan, we learn about the ideas of female thinkers and also about the challenges they faced in putting forward these ideas.
