| Summary: | The realism of Benedict XVI is grounded in the synthesis of a platonic-patristic metaphysic of form that culminates in the Word of God. This article articulates this realism for an American Christian audience that, given its own particular tradition of a realism that is politically-oriented and anti-metaphysical, is unaccustomed to Benedict's understanding. Il realismo di Benedetto XVI si fonda sulla sintesi di una metafisica della 'forma' di tipo platonico-patristico che culmina nel 'Verbo' di Dio. L'articolo espone le articolazioni di questo realismo per un lettore cristiano nord-americano che, data la sua particolare tradizione di un realismo politicamente orientato e anti-metafisico, non e preparato a comprenderlo. |
