La Perfect charity called on the deification

Abstract

The II Vatican Council has made a call to renew the spirit of “perfect love”. For theology, this is a challenge. It has addressed its tasks from a horizon that presents itself in crisis and demands another way of thinking reality and, subsequently, God itself. In this article, we present two contributions from the Spanish philosopher and theologian Xavier zubiri. One is the introduction of a new horizon of intellection, proposing from his thesis of sentient intelligence another possibility of thought itself. Secondly, the rescue of the theology of Greek Fathers that allow us to understand God’s being as effusive love, a gift to human being as deification.
