Philosophia christiana? The concept of a Christian philosophy, rooted in more than a thousand years of the self-understanding of Christian thought, is undeniable and still remains the content of certain fundamental questions. Belief, demanded of reality, must relate to reason in its entire scope, in addition to rationally grounded reflection on the limits of reason.At these limits stand again the questions of the presuppositions of rationality: nature, person, and transcendence as elements of the conditio humana.
The symposium intends to discuss this interdependence between the reflection of the facticityof philosophical thinking (Jaspers spoke of “philosophical belief”) and the rational reconstruction of the presuppositions of Christian faith.

Jean-Luc Marion is member de l'Académie francaise, Professeur émérite à l'Université Paris-Sorbonne, Professeur à The University of Chicago and Professeur à l'Institut Catholique de Paris. Jean-Luc Marion studies both the history of modern philosophy and contemporary phenomenology. In the former field, he has published several books on Descartes' ontology, rational theology, and metaphysics, focusing especially on medieval sources and using modern patterns of interpretation (e.g., On Descartes' Metaphysical Prism, or Cartesian Questions and Further Cartesian Questions). In the latter field, he is pursuing a long-term inquiry into the question of God, as in The Idol and Distance and God Without Being. Finally, he initiated a phenomenology of givenness in Reduction and Givenness, which was further developed in Being Given: An Essay on the Phenomenology of Givenness and In Excess: Studies on Saturated Phenomena. This led recently to The Erotic Phenomenon: Six Meditations and finally Certitudes Négatives (translation forthcoming). In a more theological style, he has recently published Au lieu de soi. L’approche de saint Augustin (first edition, 2008; second edition, 2009; English translation forthcoming). Awarded with the 1992 Grand Prix du Philosophie de l’Académie Française, and the 2008 Karl-Jaspers Preis.
