The discrepancies shown by Hans Blumenberg and Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggenann are reconstructed respect to the decisive role played by the Christian philosophy of Saint Agustine, according with Étienne Gilson 50 years before. His kinky heuristic way is justified of conceiving relationships between the different ways of knowledge and language, undoubtedly his great contribution to the genesis of the Western spirituality.

Abstract: In this paper, the author will demarcate three main stages of the development of Étienne Gilson’s doctrine on Christian philosophy through an examination of some of Gilson’s key works, treated in chronological order. Thus, he proceeds to explicate how Gilson’s doctrine developed from its gestational stage in the 1920s through the first Christian philosophy debate of the 1930s, into its 2nd stage of birth and infancy from the 1930s through the early 1950s, ending with the 3rd stage of maturity in the later 1950s and 1960s. Furthermore, he notes that implicit throughout those three stages are notions of Christian philosophy as existing in two modes: one as the philosophical component present within theology and the second properly speaking outside of theology though by no means outside of the influence of Christianity. Additionally, Gilson’s influence upon St. John Paul II’s treatment of Christian philosophy in Fides et Ratio is addressed. The paper culminates in showing how Gilson’s mature doctrine on Christian philosophy is relevant as a guide for doing Christian philosophy in this Third Christian Millennium.

Introducción a la filosofía cristiana es una brillante obra del Gilson ya maduro. En ella se compendia su pensamiento. Además, ahonda en muchas de sus ideas centrales.

His thought is summarized there. He also goes deeper in many of his central theses, which he presents on three levels: a) Christian philosophy as such; b) Aquinas’ metaphysics; c) his own interpretation of this metaphysics, based on the actus essendi.

In this chapter, Jean-Luc Marion offers a sweeping account of the history of recent Christian philosophy (especially in light of the debates between Émile Bréhier and Étienne Gilson). Arguing that the majority of Christian philosophy has functioned according to a “hermeneutic” approach, Marion suggests that far from being marginalized in recent history, Christian philosophy has been quite prominent. Despite the substantial pedigree of hermeneutic Christian philosophy, Marion considers three objections to it as the best way forward. Proposing instead a “heuristic” approach that allows for a specifically phenomenological conception of revelation and charity, Marion attempts to open new spaces for thinking about Christian philosophy in ways that are both philosophically substantive and theologically responsible.
