Cztery kategorie analogii i ich relacja do zagadnienia paradoksu w myśli Hansa Ursa von Balthasara
Four Categories of Analogy and their Relation to the Problem of Paradox in the Thought of Hans Urs von Balthasar

Summary/Abstract: The article examines four categories of analogy in the reflection of Hans Urs von Balthasar: analogia entis, analogia fidei, analogia libertatis and analogia caritatis. Each of these categories has been analyzed in the perspective of the accompanying paradoxes: the paradox of unitymultiplicity (incommunicability-communicability), the paradox of universale concretum, the paradox of finite and infinite freedom, the paradox of the cross and of the descent into hell. The principle of analogy has been confronted here with the method of perceiving the paradox and the mystery related to it. Each of the above problems has been discussed taking into account the sources of Balthasar’s thought (Anselm, Przywara, Barth, de Lubac, von Speyr) and with particular emphasis on his original reflection. This allows for a conclusion about the central place of the analogy of love in Balthasar’s crowning work called The Trilogy.
