La metafisica della carità

Persona e trascendenza in Lucien Laberthonnière

Abstract

By means of the analysis of the principle works of L. Laberthonnière, as well as the less well known Conférences de carême, our intention here is to rekindle the reflection on the way in which the created spirit accedes to the truth, access not limited only to a movement of the intellect. In fact we find ourselves still far from completely overcoming an anthropology of the faculties. In the although not fully formed thinking of Laberthonnière, we believe there is the possibility of formulating a theological discourse which can truly take on board the universal significance of the Revelation of God – which gives itself in that singular event of Jesus Christ – to which each single person has access in the concreteness of daily living.
