A questão de Deus no pensamento de Paul Gilbert

Abstract

This work examines the idea of God in Paul Gilbert’s thought from his early articles focused on Saint Anselm to his last texts addressing the contributions of Heiddeger and Levinas to the topic at stake. In his mature thoughts, Gilbert adopted Phenomenology as the fundamental method of metaphysics and resorted to the use of terms such as gift, attraction, liberty and transparency assuming the forms they are presented in the phenomenological tradition. In relation to Gilbert’s account of the concept of God, it is not clear whether he thought that the metaphysical discourse should strictly indicates a maius that grounds the dynamic ascension of the spirit or believed the spirit should recognize the condescendence of the divine Other who comes to us in the gift of truth and life.
