Ferdinand Ebner e la guerra

Ebner has always understood himself as a religious thinker. As he resolutely stated, his thought has “two cornerstones: the language and the Word of Christ.” However, it is not possible to reduce the Ebnerian pneumatology only to an I-and-Thou religious relationship. It consists rather in a deep reflection on the origin of the language, that is on the Logos which encloses the whole being in its totality. Furthermore, Ebner – moving beyond the limits of a personalistic philosophy of I-and-Thou – was also a sensitive inquirer of his age and, in particular, of the World War One (from which he always wanted to take distance) and postwar polical moviments.
