Abstract

La filosofia realista de Xavier Zubiri apuntó una via liberadora de la “inteligencia concipiente”, en la cual el concepto y el juicio constituían el acto primario de intelección y no la aprehensión de la “realidad”. Este modo de conocer, desde los griegos, separó el sentir y el inteligir como dos facultades independientes e incluso opuestas. Al contrario, en la “inteligencia sentiente” tanto el sentir como el inteligir son momentos del único acto de conocimiento, en el que el primario y radical es la aprehensión de la “realidad” más que los conceptos. La recuperación del catecumenado de iniciación cristiana de adultos por el Concilio Vaticano II es una excelente demostración de la “inteligencia sentiente” al servicio de la fe.

Highlights

  • The Italian term aggiornamento, which translates as updating in English is the principle guiding term for the Second Vatican Council, and is the key phrase for our understanding of what Zubiri calls “sentient intelligence.”

  • We will engage with the works of Xavier Zubiri (1898-1983), a contemporary philosopher who revolutionized human thought with his thesis regarding sentient intelligence

Summary

Introduction

This research explores the interface between “sentient intelligence,” by Xavier Zubiri[1] and liturgical science, having as an object of exploration the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, which reestablishes the catechumenate of the old tradition, constituting a significant moment of liturgical reform by The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. Catechumenate of the rite of christian initiation of adults (rcia) valeriano dos santos costa faith formation, in which the person, in the unified and growing wholeness of one’s emotional and intellectual levels, adheres to Jesus’ missionary discipleship and acquires ecclesial spirit To analyze this question, we will engage with the works of Xavier Zubiri (1898-1983), a contemporary philosopher who revolutionized human thought with his thesis regarding sentient intelligence. We can establish that the catechumenate in preparation for the Sacraments of Initiation during the Christian initiation of adults, in the form specified by the ancient Church, comes from a knowledge guided by concipient intelligence, that is, an intelligence based on concepts, since its method does not allow one to know God through preconceived notions, but rather gives priority to the experience of God and the new life in Christ through concatenated steps Before we consider this question, let us see how Zubiri explains knowledge based on the notion of sentient intelligence
