| Sumario: | This article aims to address the reception elaborated by Marion of Augustinian and Dionysian Neoplatonism within his phenomenology of donation. Using Josef Koch’s study on the distinctive notes of these two types of Neoplatonism, we argue that in Marion’s proposal a phenomenological syncretism is put into play in which both traditions cooperate to formulate what we call “language of saturation” as a way of naming phenomena that exceed the field of objects and their metaphysical certainty. This attempt to unify the two traditions of Neoplatonism has two parts. On the one hand, the Marionian studies on the Dionysian notion of praise in L’idole et la distance (1977) and in De surcroît (2001). On the other hand, the Marionian reading of Augustine in Au lieu de soi (2008). This deepens the problem of praise as the guiding thread of Christian Neoplatonism, while expanding this proposal by taking the Augustinian concept of confessio and the term idipsum. |
