Description

This book examines one of the earliest theological appropriations of phenomenology: Erich Przywara's reformulation of the analogy of being as a phenomenological category.

Drawing on previously unpublished archival material, Scerri reconstructs the overlooked personal and intellectual relationships between Przywara and the leading phenomenologists of his time - Husserl, Scheler and Heidegger. This analysis reveals Przywara's deep engagement with the thought of these philosophers, as well as his appropriation of their phenomenological insights.
Read against this background, Przywara's project, especially his Analogia Entis, emerges as a reception, critique and development of phenomenology in a theological and analogical mode.
Rescuing Przywara from Karl Barth's shadow, From Phenomenology to Analogy sheds new light on his thought, the analogy of being, and the complex relationship between theology and phenomenology.
