About this video

Runtime: 34 mins

In Steven DeLay's final interview with Jean-Luc Marion, he discusses the concept of revelation in theology and phenomenology, noting its historical emergence after Thomas Aquinas and its distinction from philosophical knowledge. He explores how revelation is not merely propositional knowledge but the self-manifestation of God, emphasizing the importance of receiving this manifestation. Marion critiques attempts to prove God's existence, arguing that God’s essence is incomprehensible and cannot be captured by ontological arguments. He reflects on technology, nihilism, and the limits of scientific thinking, suggesting that true meaning lies beyond material and technical worlds. Philosophy, for Marion, is a powerful way to engage with these fundamental questions.
