| Summary: | An important influence on Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology is the work of Swiss Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. Marion is particularly interested in Balthasar's "henomenological" approach to the content of Christian revelation, centered on the metaphor of the work of art. Balthasar suggests in his Theo-Logic that the early Marion "concede[s] too much to the critique of Heidegger," moving too far away from the "transcendental" metaphysics of Aquinas and the classical tradition. Yet Balthasar's criticism is premature. Rather, Marion's work, particularly his emphasis on the "saturated phenomenon," paves the way for a postmetaphysical theological aesthetics that might renew Balthasar's project in a cultural situation "after" the death of God, while simultaneously opening a space for Christian revelation apart from a certain hegemonic tradition of onto-theology. |
