In the Cross of Views. Jean-Luc Marion's Philosophy of the Icon

Publication at Faculty of Humanities |
2016

Abstract

This article shows how Jean-Luc Marion's thinking on the cross does imply a phenomenology. First, the basic moments of Marion's phenomenology of the cross will be described in the context of icon and idol (1); by a second step the corporeity of my living body as the fundament of these moments will be characterized (2); and finally it will be asked how, under these circumstances, an exchange between single human bodily existences will be possible by mediating single points of view to each other (3).
