Resumen de Donation, gratuité, louange: La possibilité d’un rapport libre à Dieu dans la philosophie de Jean-Luc Marion
Jean-Luc Marion’s work addresses the theological theme by proposing the saturated phenomenon as a theory reopening the place of God’s in contemporary philosophy. The absolute gratuity characterizing the divine manifestation calls a finite but still free subjective answer. In particular, the developments of saturation towards the event lead to verify whether the human response and its temporal dimension maintains a fundamental role, reversed in an eschatological form. To understand the subjective form in Marion’s production it is useful to introduce the concept of inoperosity, proposed by Jean-Luc Nancy and Giorgio Agamben and introduced in the theo-phenomenological field by Jean-Yves Lacoste. In fact, although Marion doesn’t use this concept, it is very useful, tracing a human relationship to the world and to God not subjected to causal and metaphysical bonds. The God-human link in Marion’s phenomenology is obtained by a reflection on his analysis of the inoperative word, such as praise and confession, a possibility for a free self-engagement in God’s revelation.
