Summary/Abstract: We live and think in an era in which theology increasingly lacks a generally valid philosophical rationality that could be applicable to the theological argument universally comprehensible in the context of today’s world. The paper points out the main theologically relevant features of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, in which Revelation and philosophical reflection find their common way of universal rational communication.
