Skaping

Rate this book
«Kva tenkjer vi på når vi seier skaping?»

Med dette spørsmålet startar Jean-Luc Marion ei utforsking av korleis omgrepet har blitt smidd til gjennom den metafysiske historia, og korleis dette påverkar synet vårt på skaparkraft i dag. Kjem kunsten frå kunstnaren sjølv eller frå ein annan stad? «Det var noko som skreiv i meg», har Jon Fosse sagt om eiga skriving. Kva er dette «noko»?

Marion ser på skapinga frå ein bibelsk ståstad: ikkje som produksjon, men som godleik, gåve og kjærleik. Dette gir oss eit nytt paradigme der kunstnarleg skaping er ein syns- og lyttemåte: «Kunstnaren lukkast berre i å nå fram til det fullførte verket sitt ved å ikkje finne opp noko.»

Denne boka er den skriftlege utgåva av Fosseforedraget 2025. Jean-Luc Marions Skaping er det fyrste bidraget i ei planlagd rekkje med foredrag om litteratur og kunst – ei satsing til ære for den fjerde norske nobelprisvinnaren i litteratur.

Jean-Luc Marion is a French philosopher and Catholic theologian whose work bridges phenomenology, modern philosophy, and theology. A former student of Jacques Derrida, he studied at the University of Nanterre, the Sorbonne, and the École normale supérieure under Derrida, Louis Althusser, and Gilles Deleuze, while privately exploring theology with figures such as Louis Bouyer, Jean Daniélou, Henri de Lubac, and Hans Urs von Balthasar. His early academic career included assistant lectureships at the Sorbonne and a doctorate completed in 1980, after which he taught at the University of Poitiers and later directed philosophy programs at the University Paris X – Nanterre and the University of Paris IV (Sorbonne). Marion has also held visiting and endowed professorships at the University of Chicago Divinity School, where he served as John Nuveen Professor and later as Andrew Thomas and Grace McNichols Greeley Professor of Catholic Studies, retiring in 2022. Elected to the Académie Française in 2008, he delivered the 2014 Gifford Lectures at the University of Glasgow and has received numerous honors including the Premio Joseph Ratzinger, the Karl Jaspers Prize, and the Grand Prix de philosophie de l’Académie française. Marion’s philosophical contributions focus on the concept of givenness, radicalizing phenomenology to explore the “saturated phenomenon,” which exceeds the capacities of cognition, and examining love through intentionality, inspired by Emmanuel Levinas. His major works include God Without Being, Réduction et donation, Étant donné, and Du surcroît, addressing idolatry, love, the gift, and the limits of perception. Marion’s thought has deeply influenced contemporary debates in philosophy of religion, phenomenology, and theology, emphasizing how phenomena show themselves prior to consciousness, how love implicates the invisible other, and how the gift and givenness constitute the foundational conditions for understanding being, knowledge, and relationality.

Veldig vanskelig å gi denne noen stjerner, må tenke meg godt om i hvert fall. Dette var interessante, men litt vanskelige 70 sider. Det er teologi og filosofi, og lange referanser, og latin, fransk og tysk. Mye mer og komplisert enn jeg trodde på forhånd. Dette er den trykte utgaven av Fosse-foredraget.
