Jean-Luc Marion and the Theological ‘School’ of Montmartre

Abstract

This article explores the intellectual relationship of Jean-Luc Marion to some of his theological and spiritual mentors in Montmartre during his student years in Paris. It looks at evidence of their influence in the development of certain themes in his later philosophy and theology, particularly the importance of the thematic of charity and of the need for openness to the event. It highlights the implicit Pneumatological dimension in his work.
