520 |a Jean-Luc Marion is a contemporary French philosopher, whose theory of saturated phenomena is attracting increasing attention from theologians, because he proposes that the exemplary saturated phenomenon is divine revelation. Marion's claims about revelation have also provoked philosophical controversy, with authors such as Dominique Janicaud objecting that Marion's analysis of revelation compromises his avowal that he is engaged in phenomenology rather than theology. This article outlines the philosophical background to these debates, by describing the way Marion's theory of saturated phenomena reconceives truth. Marion objects to truth being limited to the verifiable truth of the natural sciences, and insists on an excess beyond what we can grasp and understand. It is this excess that opens new possibilities for philosophical thinking about genuinely transcendent revelation. The article begins by describing an event that is one of Marion's concrete examples of saturated phenomena, before sketching his theory for these phenomena, and setting out three corollaries that follow from this theory and concern the way we should conceive both phenomenality and subjectivity. Finally, it briefly indicates a number of reservations about the implications of some of Marion's more dramatic and strident claims.
