ROGGERO, Jorge Luis. The receptivity of the gifted in J.-L. Marion. Sig. Fil [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.42, pp.110-135.  Epub Apr 04, 2022. ISSN 1665-1324.

This article aims to clarify the Marionian notion of gifted. Like Husserl, Marion understands that he cannot oppose activity and passivity, nor associate activity with rationality, as well as passivity with irrationality. Unlike Husserl, Marion understands that passivity should be granted a privilege not only in the field of theoretical reason, but also in that of practical reason. This sharp contrast can be overcome from a notion of receptivity capable of accounting for the imbrication between the two. Marion warns that it is in radical passivity where responsibility should be sought. Assuming and surrendering to it constitutes the first response to the call. Our ethical and phenomenological responsibility consist in encouraging us to question the limits and consequences of that rationality -which perpetuates the primacy of the sameness over otherness-, in order to be able to passively surrender ourselves to another logic: that of love.

Keywords : Passivity; Husserl; Descartes; subjectivity; logic of love.
