Description
Summary:This study offers a status quaestionis of the recent debate on the notion of pure nature in English speaking publications. After a brief description of de Lubac’s position and the controversies around Surnaturel, from the years of its publication to the Toulouse Symposium in 2000, we examine then the rebirth of the debate in Feingold’s study, and the numerous reactions to this work. As this study deals specifically with the notion of pure nature, we concentrate our attention on three recent books (Long, Mulcahy, Swafford) on the topic. It seems to us that the present status quaestionis allows for the compatibility between a strong notion of the natural desire to see God and a right understanding of pure nature.
