Sight and sacrament
the place of nature in religious experience
pp. 203-214
Abstrakt
In this paper, I examine the place of material nature with regard to the liturgical thought of both Jean-Yves Lacoste and Jean-Luc Marion. I contend that, in both cases, the analysis of the place of spatiotemporal reality and material nature is deficient, and I look to the possible contributions of the Russian Orthodox writers Theophan the Recluse and Pavel Florensky toward a fuller phenomenology of both liturgy and nature. I hold that the two open up the possibility of a fundamental continuity between so-called earthly life and religious experience. I thus attempt to develop an ecophenomenological nuancing of the accounts of both Lacoste and Marion in conversation with the thought of Florensky and Theophan.
