Abstract
What is a divine passion and what passions can rightly be attributed to God? It is on the stakes of this double questioning and on the debates that have made it possible to articulate it that we would like to stop. Without claiming to propose an exhaustive cartography, we will limit ourselves here to analyzing the position of a few theologians whose theses marked in depth the discussion on divine passions in modern times and who extended, often by profoundly renewing it, the syntheses elaborated by the great scholastic. Finally, in the course of the doctrinal clashes and the very nuanced positions with which each master sought to distinguish himself from his predecessors, it is the very image of God that was modified. And it may be that Spinoza's famous thesis, "God is free of passions, and no Joy or Sadness affects him" is to be understood as an ultimate and paradoxical corollary of this long sequence of debates.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
