Erich Przywara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich Przywara (12 October 1889, Kattowitz – 28 September 1972, Hagen near Murnau) was a German theologian.

From 1913-1917, he was teaching at Stella Matutina. Part of the editor team of the journal Stimmen der Zeit in München (1922-1941), Przywara, a Jesuit, was influenced by Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Newman, and the phenomenological philosophy of Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler. It has been claimed that "Volk theology and anti-Semitism"[1] are found in Przywara's early work. His most important book was Analogia Entis, a work exploring the analogy between God and creation. A study about his work, published in German, was made by the Jesuit Julio César Terán Dutari.[2] A later study, in English, was published by the Jesuit James V. Zeitz. His approach to natural theology was criticized by the Protestant theologian Karl Barth.[3] Przywara was one of Hans Urs von Balthasar's teachers and was in conversation with Paul Tillich.[4]
