| Итог: | In this paper I will examine Professor Christos Yannaras' engagement with Political Theology. I will observe his critique to what he perceives as a dominant type of Political Theology in his age. I will insist on the fact that what Yannaras criticizes is a possible redundancy of the adjective "Political" in the term "Political Theology," since every genuine Theology is already political in nature. This means that Yannaras is reacting against a specific type of Political Theology, which he perceives as an artificial attempt to reunite at the ideological level two domains, namely the secular and the transcendental, which are divided at the ontological level due to the dualism of Western metaphysics. Political Theology is reproached as a contemporary version of Apologetics, i.e., an arrière-garde battle of Christianity in the age of secularization; Yannaras, nevertheless, proposes his own version of Political Theology, which is based on apophaticism and on what he terms "critical ontology," referring to a community that attains its truth through relations open to empirical confirmation or falsification in the future. I shall consequently observe Yannaras' complex relation with Marxism. Yannaras does assume a sort of humanist and Aristotelian Marx, by exalting the contribution of the German philosopher to a paradigm shift in the History of Western thought. I shall also imply that Yannaras performs a deconstructive lecture of Marx and tries to open the Marxist text to novel interpretations against the scientism and the positivism that prevailed in Marxism as an official ideology of socialist regimes. I shall conclude by an overview of Yannaras' philosophical gesture as a Eucharistic gathering of elements in tension, such as Phenomenology and Metaphysics, stasis and energeia, polis and the Ecclesia, and, last but not least, Politics and Theology. |
