Le langage phénoménologique sur le mystère chrétien

AbstractThis article explores the relationship between human language, philosophy, and theology, emphasizing the difficulty of expressing the divine. It starts from the premise that language, both external and internal, is unique to humans, and examines its ability to articulate transcendence. From a phenomenological perspective, the study analyzes how philosophy assigns concepts to phenomena, while theology encounters obstacles when attempting to name God, as the divine seems to exceed the limits of language. The article suggests that, although language is essential for communication and thought, its ability to express divine reality remains limited. Silence thus appears as a more appropriate hermeneutical path to approach the sacred, since the nature of God transcends human concepts, revealing the limits of language when faced with the ineffable.
