The aim of this article is to address Jean-Luc Marion’s interpretation of the pragmatic tradition, in order to demonstrate the practical dimension of French eventual phenomenology. First, we will explore the passages where Marion develops this critical appropriation of pragmatism. We will show, on the one hand, that this reception is inseparable from his reading of the thought of Dionysius the Areopagite, as can be seen in L’Idole et la distance (1977) and De surcroît (2001). On the other hand, we will investigate his reading of pragmatism and the Speech Act theory in Le visible et le révélé (2005). In order to clarify the singularity of this reception practiced by Marion, we will simultaneously provide an analysis of analytical pragmatism, particularly considering Richard Rorty’s proposal. Finally, we will expand the language pragmatics of saturation in Marion to various commo...

“‘Reaching God without God’. The relationship between phenomenology and theology in Edmund Husserl and Jean-Luc Marion”. By assuming that there is a fruitful historical relationship between theology and phenomenology, this work aims to point out the specificity and novelty of current French phenomenology. This will be achieved by highlighting the difference between the theological model that the latter draws on from the type of theology with which it dialogues historical phenomenology. First, we will address the relationship between phenomenology and theology offered by Edmund Husserl, supporting the presence of a positive theology, since God is named under such terms as ἐντελέχεια, “idea” (Idee) and “absolute substance” (absolute Substanz). Secondly, we will show the link between phenomenology and theology proposed by Jean-Luc Marion from his interpretation&n...

Asumiendo que existe una fecunda relación histórica entre teología y fenomenología, este trabajo se propone señalar la especificidad y novedad de la fenomenología francesa actual, destacando la diferencia entre el modelo teológico del que esta última se nutre respecto del tipo de teología con el que dialoga la fenomenología histórica. En primer lugar, abordaremos la relación entre fenomenología y teología ofrecida por Edmund Husserl, sosteniendo allí la presencia de una teología positiva, pues Dios es nombrado bajo términos tales como ἐντελέχεια, “idea” (Idee) y “substancia absoluta” (absolute Substanz). En segundo lugar, mostraremos el vínculo entre fenomenología y teología propuesto por Jean-Luc Marion a partir de su interpretación del pensamiento de Dionisio Areopagita como “teología pragmática de la ausencia” (pragmatique théologie de l�...
