The metaphysics of language in Cusanus and Gadamer.

This paper discusses Cadamer's interpretation of Cusanus' concept of verbum focusing on three metaphysical problems: pantheism, the spirit as image of God, Being as the word. First, the understanding of God as creative word offers the right balance between transcendence and presence within creation. Second, the verbum envisions a subjectivity that mirrors the spontaneity and creativity ofthe divine word. Third, the concept of Being is wired with a theory of creation rooted in the divine dynamic interiority, which manifests itself in the emergence of the verbum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
