The weekend of October 7-8 saw the 2nd preparatory seminar for the Spanish edition of the Dynamic Dictionary of Trinitarian Ontology (DDOT) take place in Madrid.
The enthusiasm that motivated and fueled the first meeting last May brought several professors and scholars together once again. This time was dedicated to an in-depth study of Klaus Hemmerle’s Theses on Trinitarian Ontology, seeking to clarify how the perspective of Trinitarian ontology can contribute today to a deeper understanding of the relationship between philosophy and theology. Thus, in the light and warmth of Trinitarian love, they may fruitfully nourish and radiate through human thought and life, both on a personal and social level.
The meeting included the participation of, among others, Alejandro Bertolini, an Argentine theologian who “crossed the ocean” from Buenos Aires to offer a Trinitarian and transformative reading of the human being from a Eucharistic perspective. Raúl Buffo and Tommaso Bertolasi also came from Loppiano (Florence) to present, each with their own emphasis, key points for understanding Trinitarian ontology as a “place” and “method” of thinking.
Along these lines, Francesco de Nigris (Madrid/Italy) introduced and presented several theoretical nodes regarding the question of access to Trinitarian ontology, based on current philosophical interpretations of Spanish thought. For his part, Tomás Marín (Granada) connected the Trinitarian theme of personal alterity, as well as the categories of Greek thought, with some of the early ecumenical councils that had a decisive influence on the understanding of being.
Finally, César Redondo (Toledo) explained why we can speak of a novelty in the understanding of being, thanks to the new concept of the person brought by the Trinitarian revelation of God in Christ.
There will soon be news regarding the publication of a Spanish edition of the Manifesto for a Trinitarian Ontology…
