Cuando la revelación no es transparencia Posibilidades de un diálogo filosófico – teológico desde la propuesta de Byung-Chul Han

Abstract

The present article, coming from the theological discipline, seeks to think a philosophicaltheological dialogue around the concept of “revelation”, central in Christianity, from some intuitions present in the philosophy of the South Korean thinker Byung-Chul Han. The thesis What is proposed is to maintain that revelation does not constitute a transparency, and that when God reveals himself to the human being - and also when a human being becomes manifest to another - this appearance does not constitute a total manifestation. In the revelation there persists a halo of mystery, ignorance or negativity. Considering the possibility of a dialogue between Philosophy and Theology represents, in our opinion, a necessary approach to the search for truth in the academic environment and in the practice of a renewed university teaching.
