Abstract

HUBERT ROBINET, Andrés. From perception to participation. How theology was Born according to H. U. von Balthasar and Nicolas de Cusa. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2013, vol.63, n.175, pp.113-142. ISSN 0120-3649.

This paper aims at contributing to the understanding of theology and its relationship to philosophy based on the principal work of H. U. von Balthasar. The analogia entis is the fundamental topic here. This article attempts to scrutinize the purpose of Von Balthasar by studying the diverse quotes by Nicolas de Cusa in the Glory, and by establishing his inspiration. The cusan topics ofperception, participation andcoincidentia oppositorum are analyzed in order to explore his contributions to Theology and the theological method. This topic allows for a deeper understanding of human awe for beauty and of their search for loyalty. Adhering to a faith goes hand-in-hand with the God of love kenosis.

Keywords : Von Balthasar; Nicolas ede Cusa; perception; participation; analogy of being; Philosophy; Theology.
