The Truth as Witness

Klaus Hemmerle and the relation between philosophy and theology

Abstract

In the wake of Klaus Hemmerle’s thought promoting a new interpretative outlook on being based on a synergy between philosophy and theology, this section presents the fruit of intense dialogue among three scholars who have been addressing this topic for years. The first text is by Massimo Donà for the Seminar, “Male and Female in Relationship: Anthropological Perspectives in Dialogue with Klaus Hemmerle” (3-4 April 2019) at the Sophia University Institute, followed by Vincenzo Vitiello’s and Piero Coda’s contributions at the Seminar “The Truth as Witness: Klaus Hemmerle and the Relationship between Philosophy and Theology” (28 October 2019) held at the Italian Institute of Philosophical Studies. Both events were occasions to present the collection of Hemmerle’s writings, edited by V. Gaudiano, Ac-knowledgeable Thinking: Writings on the Relationship between Philosophy and Theology (Città Nuova 2018).
