[Lonergan_l] schemes of recurrence, bees and Metropolitan John
Jaray...@aol.com
Pierre,
thanks for that link (YOUR blog?) on the bees and Metropolitan John
Zizioulas. The quote below taken from the "bee link" parallels, to my mind, what
Levinas and Marion have done from a Jewish or Roman Catholic perspective to
counter secularism or the extremist Nazi ideology:
"Metropolitan John's influence is widely felt, both among Protestant and
Roman Catholic theologians, as well as within the Orthodox Church. Some have
suggested that his 1985 book, Being as Communion, is perhaps the most
significant theological book of the late 20th century.
The principal themes in Metropolitan John’s theology are freedom and
otherness, both human and divine. Grounding his work in the Cappadocian Fathers
and St Maximus Confessor in particular, he articulates a relational ontology
in which neither unity nor plurality have priority. His Being as Communion
(1985) addressed the theme from the importance of communion for unity,
while his later Communion and Otherness (2007) is a complementary analysis of
the importance of otherness for communion. He thus takes up the ancient
philosophical problem of reconciling the One and the Many, which he examines
with respect to divinity (the three Persons of the Trinity and the
monarchia of the Father), humanity (theological anthropology), and the Church
(ecclesiology). The philosophical implications of the book extend to the human
and social sciences. A further theme of the two studies is the
eschatological ontology he derives from St Maximus the Confessor, in which the truly
real is that which is real at the eschaton. This is the subject of a new book
by the Metropolitan to be released in summer 2008, Remembering the Future:
An Eschatological Ontology."
