The morning session, from a philosophical perspective, will be given by Mr. Eduardo Jose E. Calasanz of the Ateneo Philosophy Department. It will consist of two parts. A first part--a bibliographical survey--situates Marion as a historian of philosophy and as an original thinker, pursuing a dialogue with theology. A second part--a guided reading of three texts by Marion--answers these three questions: What methodological principle does Jean-Luc Marion adhere to and innovate? What metaphysical theory underlies his work? How does he engage the philosophy of religion?
The afternoon session, from a theological perspective, will be handled by Fr. Antonio de Castro, S.J. and Ms. Charity Durano of the Loyola School of Theology. It will also consist of two parts. A first part--a bibliographical survey--shows the reception of Marion's thought by theologians. A second part explores the possibility of a dialogue between theology and philosophy by posing the question: How can Marion's notion of the saturated phenomenon help us understand the doctrine of revelation?

I did not know about this conference. How was it? I would really like to hear more about his methodology. I am writing a dissertation on Marion and I am attempting to qualify his philosophy as "Christian Philosophy" and offering a method of crisis, or paradox as his main approach to issues in philosophy and theology. Please give me some more info.
Thanks,
