Esta obra del celebre te�logo ortodoxo Vladimir Lossky (1903 - 1958), fue pionera en cuanto a la difusi�n de la teolog�a hesicasta en Occidente durante el siglo XX.
Publicada p�stumamente en franc�s en 1962, bajo el t�tulo Vision de Dieu, re�ne una serie de conferencias impartidas por Lossky en 1945-1946 en la �cole pratique des Hautes �tudes, en la Sorbona de Par�s. La obra propone un recorrido hist�rico y doctrinal por la tradici�n cristiana acerca de la visi�n de Dios: desde la Escritura y los primeros Padres, pasando por Alejandr�a, los Capadocios, san Dionisio Areopagita, san M�ximo el Confesor y san Juan Damasceno, hasta llegar a la s�ntesis palamita del siglo XIV.El eje del libro es una cuesti�n decisiva para la teolog�a oriental: en qu� sentido puede el hombre ver o conocer a Dios? Lossky muestra que, para la tradici�n ortodoxa, Dios permanece incognoscible en su esencia, pero se comunica realmente al hombre por sus energ�as divinas. De este modo, la visi�n de Dios no consiste en una comprensi�n intelectual de la esencia divina, sino en una participaci�n viva, personal y transformadora en la vida de Dios.
Por eso, el libro puede leerse como una introducci�n al palamismo: Lossky reconstruye la larga continuidad que une la teolog�a b�blica y patr�stica con la doctrina hesicasta defendida por san Gregorio Palam�s. Su intenci�n no es presentar el palamismo como una innovaci�n tard�a, sino como la maduraci�n doctrinal de una tradici�n mucho m�s antigua.
Uno de los puntos m�s decisivos de la obra -y quiz� uno de los m�s interesantes para el lector- es el modo en que Lossky muestra la �ntima relaci�n entre la visi�n de Dios y la theosis, o deificaci�n, en la tradici�n cristiana oriental. Lossky sostiene en su desarrollo de la teolog�a hesicasta que la visi�n de Dios no puede entenderse como una mera contemplaci�n intelectual ni como una aprehensi�n de la esencia divina, sino como una participaci�n real en la vida divina, participaci�n que transforma al hombre entero.
De ah� que Lossky insista en que la ausencia, dentro de la teolog�a latina occidental, de una distinci�n entre la esencia y las energ�as divinas llev� a una grave incomprensi�n del hesicasmo. Esta incomprensi�n queda de manifiesto desde el primer cap�tulo de la obra, y reaparece como cuesti�n de fondo en sus p�ginas finales. Para Lossky, el problema no se limita a una disputa terminol�gica: afecta directamente al modo mismo de entender la deificaci�n. All� donde no se distingue entre la esencia incomunicable de Dios y sus energ�as divinas comunicables, la theosis corre el riesgo de quedar reducida a una categor�a moral, psicol�gica o puramente intelectual, perdiendo su sentido propiamente ortodoxo: la participaci�n real del hombre en la vida divina.
Es por esto que esta obra tambi�n puede entenderse como una historia del desarrollo doctrinal dentro de la teologia de la distinci�n entre energias y esencia de Dios, distincion que Lossky ya detecta en los padres capadocios y que reoorre todo el desarrollo ulterior de la teologia cristiano ortodoxa.• Author(s): Clear | James • Publisher: Penguin • Publisher Imprint: Penguin Random House • Subject: General Books
