Revelation, interpretation, and a-theism: the understanding of Christian tradition in Massimo Cacciari’s philosophy

Summary/Abstract: Being based on Massimo Cacciari’s seminal work On the Origin (Dell’Inizio, 1990), this paper focuses on the relationship between Revelation and interpretation within Christianity. Drawing on the texts of the New Testament and subsequent explanatory works M. Cacciari is trying to show that the way in which the truth of Revelation is ‘structured’ permits many interpretations. That which is revealed within Revelation requires that those who have heard it become interpretative – i.e., interrogative, inquiring – beings who, nevertheless, also participate in this truth. Cacciari holds that the ambiguity of the revealed truth as a ‘sign’ resides in the paradoxical figure of Christ: in Christ, the believer can see God while God himself remains unseen: He is to be merely heard. M. Cacciari believes that it is precisely this dimension of the exposed unaccessibility that sets in motion the process of interpretation which, in the end, leads either to an atheism as a critical philosophical position, or to an ‘a-theism’ as an attendance for a new God.
