Epistemological or Ontological?
from Part II - How and Why Agape-Justice Conflicts Arise
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 October 2023
Agape-justice conflicts are epistemological in nature because they arise from limitations in human knowledge. However, they may in fact be also ontological in nature as occasions to give vent to love’s diffusiveness, to develop the moral faculties of reason and freedom, to acquire personal and collective virtue, and to grow in Christified agape (caritas). Even epistemological limitations may, by divine design, also be meant to serve these purposes. Agape-justice conflicts are instrumental for humans’ eventual union with God, their telos. They are occasions for grace to build on our human frailties and brokenness, grace building on nature.
