Description
Theses Towards A Trinitarian Ontology by Klaus Hemmerle is a seminal work that explores the concept of a "Trinitarian ontology." Written in 1975 as a birthday greeting to Hans Urs von Balthasar, this philosophical treatise draws on German Idealism to articulate a distinctively Trinitarian response to the aporias of early twenty-first-century thought. Hemmerle's Theses offer a unique perspective on the nature of Being, positing that it can only be understood as Love. This idea is rooted in the concept of "self-giving" or kenosis, which serves as the foundation for his ontology. By examining this Trinitarian approach, readers can gain insight into the current state of philosophical thought and its ongoing relevance. This book provides a concise and thought-provoking exploration of a complex theological concept, making it an interesting choice for those seeking to engage with contemporary philosophical debates.
