The Categories of Inter-relationship and Kenosis in the Evolutionary Ascent of Creation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The universe as we know it is an open and evolving reality. And, therefore, self-transcending. We will describe how this self-transcendence has its origin in the first creative act and, subsequently, in the continuous interaction that the Creator maintains with creation by acting in each of the divine Persons.
Interrelatedness is an ontological category both in God and in us, who are communion-oriented beings because communion belongs to the essence of God.
With regard to the category of kenosis, our aim is to show the direct relationship that exists between the creative kenotic design that leads us towards a freedom-oriented creative design and the kenosis of the Word in Christ that aims at the final liberation of history because, in our opinion, this and no other is the reason why kenosis is also a necessary component in our evolutionary ascent towards that "being more" that is the goal of all that exists.
