this is a remarkable lecture. It's amazing to me that so few have commented! Perhaps because it takes getting well into it--forty minutes or so--for things to come into focus. Marion is bringing to light some important concepts for understanding our experience as Christians.

"The paradox of the saturated event is that its significance cannot be understood." I would say the paradox is that the respondent is compelled to understand but is unable to respond with understanding. Implicitly we are commanded to agree without comprehending. This is our modern state of affairs. We are divided into the faithful and deniers without completely comprehending what we are agreeing to. If we are invited to agree to a saturated event, i.e. truth event, without comprehending: we are in a crisis to which we cannot respond but must respond.

Very deep and gorgeous

My distant relative - unfortunnally distant. Great

to add to my comment above: more likely, Marion loses a lot of the U.S. audience with his bringing Husserl into his fundamental perspective. Phenomenology is foreign to most in the english speaking world. Too bad! his analysis doesn't really require that familiarity, once he gets into it.
