Analogia Entis: Metaphysics- Original Structure and Universal Rhythm (Ressourcement: Retrieval and Renewal in Catholic Thought)

Although Erich Przywara (1889-1972) was one of the preeminent Catholic theologians of his time and a profound influence on such people as Josef Pieper, Edith Stein, Karl Rahner, and Hans Urs von Balthasar, he has remained virtually unknown in North America. This volume includes Przywara's groundbreaking Analogia Entis, originally published in 1932, and his subsequent essays on the concept analogia entis — the analogy between God and creation — which has currency in philosophical and theological circles today.

 

Erich Przywara (1889-1972) was an influential German Jesuit theologian who himself was strongly influenced by Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, and the phenomenological philosophy of Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler.
