He describes the “literary humanism” of the Renaissance, but warns that there is a more deeply anthropological sense of “humanism” founded on the dignity and value of human nature, very far from the postulates of “atheistic humanism.” However, already in his first writings, he introduced the new expression “Christian humanism”, where human dignity is brought to its fullness by its openness to the supernatural. Otherwise perhaps Gilson is the first thinker to introduce the expression “Christian humanism” picked up years later by other authors and, finally, by the Magisterium of the Church. Gilson trata en diversos artículos las categorías historiográficas de Renacimiento y humanismo, constatando la ambigüedad e insuficiencia de esas etiquetas. Describe el “humanismo literario” del Renacimiento, pero advierte que hay un sentido más profundamente antropológico del “humanismo” fundado en la dignidad y valor de la naturaleza humana, muy lejos de los postulados del “humanismo ateo”. Sin embargo, ya en sus primeros escritos, introduce la novedosa expresión “humanismo cristiano”, donde la dignidad humana es llevada a plenitud por su apertura a lo sobrenatural. Por otro lado, quizás Gilson sea el primer pensador que introduce la expresión “humanismo cristiano” recogida años más tarde por otros autores y, finalmente, por el Magisterio de la Iglesia. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/15619 10.34096/petm.v46.n1.15619 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/15619/14726 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 46 Núm. 1 (2025); 57-72 2683-9636 Renacimiento Dignidad humana Ateísmo Dios Renaissance Human dignity Atheism God Humanism and Christian Humanism in Étienne Gilson Humanismo y humanismo cristiano en Étienne Gilson info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=15619_oai
