La cristologia filosofica di Piero Martinetti

Abstract

In 1934 Piero Martinetti publishes the book Gesù Cristo e il cristianesimo, the key text of his philosophical Christology. In this essay, Jesus of Nazareth is seen as a moral ideal that accesses truth through direct intellectual intuition. For Martinetti, following this moral ideal the human being finds within himself a spiritual unity, a transcendental religious element capable of overcoming both the theological-mystical vision of the Logos of the Gospel of John and the ecclesiastical degeneration of the magisterium of Jesus brought about by the Pauline letters.
