Franck Delannoy, « L'expérience du beau dans l'herméneutique philosophique de Hans-Georg Gadamer et dans l'esthétique théologique de Hans Urs von Balthasar », Études Germaniques, ID : 10670/1.xvjkpv
This paper analyses the resemblances and differences in the way, the theological Aesthetics of Hans Urs von Balthasar and the phenomenological Hermeneutics of Hans Georg Gadamer define the experience of aesthetic and theological beauty. It points out that the norm of aesthetic experience is ontically and ontologically founded, while religious experience is only founded in the mysterious of the Trinity. The differences in the way, Gadamer and Balthasar describe the hermeneutical status of the text and the relationship with tradition and the world, are derived from this central difference. The finitude of human being is differently set by both thinkers, and that allows us to distinguish the philosophical faith from the Christian one.
