Of creation in theology

This article offers a philosophical reflection on the notion of "creation in theology," understood as the capacity of human intelligence to produce new theological language while remaining faithful to Revelation. The author, a Catholic philosopher preparing a thesis under the supervision of Vladimir Jankélévitch, adopts a rigorous speculative approach to examine the tension between fidelity to the kerygma and dogmatic innovation. Drawing primarily on Karl Rahner — notably the concept of the "supernatural existential" — and on Vladimir Lossky, he brings Catholic and Orthodox theologies into dialogue around the notions of created grace, the supernatural, and deification. The article shows that the Rahnerian distinction between efficient causality and quasi-formal causality allows Catholic theology to meet the Orthodox requirements regarding the primacy of the uncreated, while philosophically justifying the existence of a created supernatural as the condition of possibility for a genuine "creative fidelity" in theology.
