Abstract

FONTI, Diego. Impatient Patience. The Theological-Political Understanding of Time in Rosenzweig and Levinas. Franciscanum [online]. 2018, vol.60, n.169, pp.109-142. ISSN 0120-1468.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the meaning that theology and politics take on in Rosenzweig and Levinas. For both authors they deal with ways of reflection and practice posterior to the founding relationship of the subject and the other. The philosophy that deals with this relationship finds in the theological language the concepts with which it can be expressed, without becoming theology because of that. And at the practical level, politics will be directly influenced by the philosophical-theological understanding it assumes. From both philosophies it is deduced the paradoxical impossibility and necessity of a political theology. The experience of patience and impatience of time appears as central for understanding the emergence of the theological-political in both authors.

Keywords : Rosenzweig; Levinas; political theology; time; patience.
