| Abstract |
In his essay Réduction et donation, the French philosopher proposes a new principle –“autant de réduction, autant de donation”–, from which he will propose a third reduction in the field of phenomenology. The intent of this paper is to show how this principle points out that reduction, increasingly radicalized, not only reduces in a restrictive sense but rather opens or widens the horizon of donation, since it allows us to penetrate more and more into the very fact of donation as such. Thus, we will conclude that after the phenomenological-transcendental reduction and the ontological-existential reduction, the reduction to and from the call is exercised, which underlies as the fundamental scheme of the two previous reductions. This will be conceived as the original structure of the donation. © 2024 Pontifica Universidad Catolica del Peru. All rights reserved. |
