Homo politicus: una lectura teológica de la dimensión política del ser humano desde el pensamiento de R. Panikkar

Abstract

Panikkarian cosmoteandric intuition allows us to understand that reality has a divine dimension, a human and a cosmic incorporated in a perichoresis. As man is part of the cosmoteandric reality (Meza, 2009), no exception to this three-dimensionality and, therefore, has a human dimension that enables also its political dimension. So, this study describes the involvement of the human in man’s personal reality, that is, its relationship with the other as altera pars mei, a condition that allows you to build community (polis homo), and recognize the difference. In light of Panikkar’s thought, we made clear that the immanent has a close link with the transcendent, justice is not divorced from justification, the other route to the Other and the secular can also be sacred. Thus, we are restoring a comprehensive view of politics as an essential dimension of human beings.
