La personne et le christianisme ancien
Meunier Bernard - Collection Patrimoines - christianisme
Résumé
--
Is it true that Christianity, thanks to the debates on the Trinity (one God in three persons) and Christ (God and man in one person), has established a notion of the person unknown to Antiquity? And exactly what was its consequent contribution to the emergence of the modern concept? Only a precise historical study, founded on the interpretation of many texts selected over a long period of time, can permit us to avoid more or less attestable generalities. In this perspective, this book sets out to re-examine the Christian authors of Antiquity (as well as, in contrast, some pagan authors) by studying the Latin and Greek words they used (persona, prosopôn, hupostasis). The aim is not to make another history of Trinitarian or Christological dogma, but to evaluate what, in philosophical terms, was or was not handed down to Medieval and Modern thinking, the fruit of theological debate. Thus the book helps clarify the complex problems of the philosophical fecundity of theology and the relation between faith and reason - which may go as far as to create new concepts - and the role that Christianity may have played in the emergence of the individual within an Ancient culture whose thinking was primarily collective.
