Philosophy and Theology

This book is an introduction to some of the philosophical elements present in the thought of Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988). His long theological and philosophical reflection finds its highest and most mature expression in the work Herrlichkeit. Eine Theologische Aesthetik.＂ It deals with beauty as the glory of God. This aesthetic character of God corresponds, on the theological level, to what, for philosophy, is beauty as the manifestation and original splendor of being.
