Due to technical problems the live streaming of this JP2 Lecture is unavailable. The recording will be provided shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience. www.ANGELICUM.it On Tuesday, November 5th at 4:30 p.m. we invite you to a public lecture by Prof. Jean-Luc Marion. The lecture titled “Question of Being and Revelation” will be held in Aula Minor, as part of the JP2 Lectures series at the Angelicum. According to the metaphysical tradition, the question of being comes first, as a background for the question of the “existence” of God. Could it be possible, according to biblical Revelation, to reverse the order, and to consider being from the viewpoint of God, the creator? This question will be the main focus of professor Marion’s talk and discussion with the audience. Professor Jean-Luc Marion (born 3 July 1946) is a French philosopher, phenomenologist, and Roman Catholic theologian. He has held chairs at both the Sorbonne and the University of Chicago. Awarded with the 1992 Grand Prix du Philosophie de l’Académie Française, the 2008 Karl Jaspers Prize, as well as the 2020 Ratzinger Prize. Jean-Luc Marion is a former student of Jacques Derrida whose work is informed by patristic and mystical theology, phenomenology, and modern philosophy. In November 2008 he was elected as an immortel by the Académie Française. He has occupied seat 4, an office previously held by the late Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger. His many books include God Without Being (1991), Prolegomena to Charity (2002), Revelation Comes from Elsewhere (2024), et al. _________ The lecture will be delivered in English. ________________ https://angelicum.it/st-john-paul-ii-... ________________ The monthly open JP2 Lectures are given by prominent international scholars, and organized by the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Roman Alma Mater of fr.
