Approssimazioni fenomenologiche al carattere attestato della rivelazione

The essay proposes an analysis of the nexus between phenomenology and revelation, highlighting the peculiarities that emerge when revelation is qualified as attested, i.e. recognising the decisive value of the biblical text. The analysis of the role attributed to that text by Emmanuel Levinas, Michel Henry, Jean-Luc Marion e Jean-Louis Chrétien makes it possible to thematise one of the objections addressed to their production, which identifies the excess that characterises the phenomenal call as the cause of the annihilation of the subjective response that would manifest it. Indeed, the examination of the attested form of the revelation leads one to overcome a description of the event that is almost uniquely based on the visual paradigm, highlighting the possible intertwining with the acoustic paradigm through the mediation provided by the act of reading. This illustrates how the mediation of finitude is constitutive to the phenomenalisation of revelation, not only in the interpretative response, but already in the process of inscription of the text.
