Theisms and Power

Abstract

This article aims to think about the relationships among
the various active forms of theism in the West, thought of
as forces and symbolic accomplishments. This exercise
of power occurs by means of a tension between institution
and the mystery of being, in such a way as to make
explicit a set of meanings for all real. Each of the historical
monotheisms states himself as a unity, demanding
to taking up differences in the oneness. Later on, the
inquiry concentrates on the paradigmatic presentation of
the original challenge of the Christian movement, in its
challenges of being and not being.
