Abstract

The aim of this article is to show how the feminine hermeneutics of Hadewijch's Love, the medieval Minne, is an alternative proposal that dialogues with the authors of the medieval Christian heritage. To do so, it is intended to make use of Martin Heidegger´s philosophical foundations of the medieval mystique (1919/1920) as a method to approach the phenomenology of Hadewijch of Antwerp's mystical experience, without to demystify the mystique. In other words, it intends to analyze the experience account as God´s presence as an opening for the previous realization of a fundamental experience, at same time a philosophical and theological subject. Hadewijch's philosophical inquiry to Heidegger is implicit in his human experience with God. Her experience can be seen in the origin of philosophizing itself because by the reason tensioning through her poetic, visionary and epistolary enterprise. Mystique, as an object of research, will always be a criticism of science because it does not allow itself to be captured by theoretical construction, because it is captured by the indelible, the unspeakable and by broad philosophical developments that range from the straight conduct of the wicked, or the desire for good, to nihilism itself that points to Love. This happens not only as the desired and achieved ecstasy, but in its greatest development of being authentic and revealing the human reality exiled in Love because of Love. It is from this Love that she suffers
