The Union of God and Humanity as an Iconic Path: Pavel Florensky and Louis-Marie Chauvet
Original language description
This chapter brings into dialogue two theologians, one from the Eastern and one from the Western traditions. The first is a representative of Russian religious philosophy, Pavel Florensky (1882-1937?) and the second a contemporary French sacramental theologian Louis-Marie Chauvet (born 1942). My aim is to track in their theologies which, embodied in the different discourses, open up the kind of possibilities for the "iconic" or "symbolic" images of the relationship of people with God and of people together. To analyze the iconic description of the image of God in people - which also includes bodily existence, together with the broader body of creation - I first look at their theological-philosophical presuppositions concerning the union of God and people, regarding their epistemology as the background for their non-idolatrous vision of God and theological anthropology. To conclude I draw together the theological aspects of their thinking, which makes the uniting process possible and show that despite the authors' historically and ecclesially different contexts they both seek for an iconic vision of the human-divine relationship which opens the way for the true knowledge of God manifested in love and wisdom.
