Resumo(s)
The assimilation of phenomenology by theology (namely of Heidegger by Karl Rahner)
exemplifies how a pre-existing philosophical framework can be imported into a theological system by
being suffused with belief. Although one would imagine that the incommensurability between philosophy
and religion would thus be overcome, the two disciplines risk to remain, given the sequels of the ‘French
debate’, worlds apart, separated by a leap of faith. In this paper I attempt to uncover what grammatical
similitudes afforded Rahner formal transference in the first place. Uncovering analogous uses of
contemplative attention, namely between Heidegger and Simone Weil, I hope to demonstrate the filial
relationship between existential phenomenology and Christian mysticism. I propose that attention is a key
factor in both systems of thought. Furthermore, I propose that: 1) attention, the existential hub between
subject and phenomena, provides a base for investigating methodologies, as opposed to causal relations,
in philosophy and religion; 2) that the two attentional disciplines of meditation and contemplation,
spiritual practices designed to shape the self, also constitute styles of thinking; and 3) the ‘turn’ in the later
Heidegger’s philosophy is a strategic point to inquire into this confluence of styles of thinking, evincing
the constantly dynamic and intrinsically tight relation between philosophy and theology.
