Abstract
Jean-Luc Marion on the Question of Freedom
Highlights
Taylor Knight: In his article, “Another Name for Liberty: Revelation, ‘Objectivity,’ and Intellectual Freedom in Barth and Marion,” Kristóf Oltvai presents us with an interesting comparison of Marion and Barth.[1]
Jean Luc Marion on the Question of Freedom more provocative conclusion: intellectual freedom is grounded in the Reformation doctrine of sola scriptura which is a doctrine that aims to clear away the accumulated dust of tradition in order to see what scripture really said—that is, it aims to interpret scripture from itself and not through the fog of the centuries
French Catholicism does not dwell under the shadow of a dominant Protestantism as American or English Catholics do
Summary
Jean Luc Marion on the Question of Freedom more provocative conclusion: intellectual freedom is grounded in the Reformation doctrine of sola scriptura which is a doctrine that aims to clear away the accumulated dust of tradition in order to see what scripture really said—that is, it aims to interpret scripture from itself and not through the fog of the centuries. While Oltvai tries to address this critique by increasing Marion’s debt to Barth and to the Protestant tradition, my approach to the question of freedom in Marion is quite the opposite.
