Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Delving into the philosophical insights of St. Bonaventure, the book explores the concept of history as "first philosophy," challenging the notion of history's unintelligibility influenced by Aristotle. Ratzinger highlights Bonaventure's belief in mythos as a mediator between science and history, suggesting that the narrative of creation provides a structure for understanding both. The text critiques modern "progress myths," contrasting them with the genuine spiritual advancement exemplified by saints like Francis and Bonaventure, ultimately revealing that the essence of history is rooted in mythos.
