Abstract
The objective of this article is to demonstrate that the being of the feminine occupies an eminent place in the epistemological configuration of interdisciplinary dialogue among literature, esthetics and theology carried out by Hans Urs von Balthasar. The causal relationship between the Dantesque smile of Beatrice and the maternal smile reveals the source of the development of his metaphysics of love and of his ludic theology. In this way, metaphysics and femininity, literature and theology remain united in the mystery of the human smile.
