- Title
Negatividad de la subjetividad y esperanza en la antropología teológica de Juan Alfaro.
- Authors
Ábrigo, Carlos
- Abstract
In the theological anthropology of Juan Alfaro, S. J. (1914-1993), subjectivity (consciousness and freedom) constitutes the human dimension where aspects of positivity and negativity coexist. In negativity, man experiences the threat of the nonsense of his existence because he is never in full possession of himself, but mainly because of the experience of death. This negativity, however, is the existential dimension from which the attitude of rebellion against such threats emerges and the gift of hope is incited. For the expression of these contents, the author points out that the essentialist categories oriented to demonstrate must give place to personalist categories oriented to show, a challenge still pending according to what Pope Francis expresses.
