Potenzialità e limiti della “teoria della complessità” per la riflessione teologica

Criteri ermeneutici dal Contro Eunomio di Gregorio di Nissa

Abstract

Gregory of Nissa’s Against Eunomius can be analyzed as a paradigmatic work of the comparison between theology and philosophy and thus effective also in highlighting the potential and the limitations of other systems for the-ology, as in for example Complexity Theory. Such a theory lends itself to the need to contextualize every theological statement in an horizon of relation (of place, o time, of person). At the same time however, complexity cannot demand, neither in a theoretical nor in a practical sense, to be the ultimate key to understanding the investigated reality, be it human or divine.
