O teologii „ponownego filozofowania”
Walker, Adrian J. (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
I began this essay with William Portier’s assessment of the potentialities of what he dubs „evangelical Catholicism” I also noted Portier’s concern of „retheologizing” theology, too long a captive to the secular social sciences. I then tried to build a case that any such retheologizing, if it is to be successful, must include a „rephilosophizing” of theology as well, while attempting to show how this concern for philosophy emerges organically from the very work of retheologizing theology itself. The philosophy that so emerges, in fact, is nothing but an articulation – itselfconcretely embodied – of the concrete, primordial act of thinking enfolded within the Christian experience of assimilation to the body of Jesus in the Church. In this way, I hope to have allayed some of the deep suspicion of philosophy shared by many older Catholic theologians, who associate philosophy with bad memories of rationalistic Scholasticism, and many younger ones, whose post-modem proclivities incline them away from what they take to be „grand narratives” Philosophy is not ideology, but engagement with the whole: ressource-ment, in a transparency that is akin to the childlikeness that Jesus asks of us in the Gospels.
