Abstract
MEJIA HINCAPIE, Néstor Iván. Convertibility Between Being, Spirit and Gift. The Ontodology of Claude Bruaire. Franciscanum [online]. 2015, vol.57, n.163, pp.177-195. ISSN 0120-1468.
The present philosophical dissertation is registered within the philosophical theology area; we believe in the possibility, at the present time and mainly in the necessity of a reflection on the «being as a being». In our case, this reflection is carried out starting from the comprehensive reading of the French philosopher's thought, Claude Bruaire (1932-1986) who finds that the «being as a being» is conceived as a spirit that is donated. We seek to show the convertibility, in terms of identity, among being, spirit and gift. If the Bruairian's proposal allows thinking the being as a spirit, freedom or gift, it is because these terms are convertible or co-extensive; they express an only ternary act of the being's self-constitution, in fact by means of a donation of itself, for itself, in itself; this act is conceived as reflection.
