Résumé
--
Customary though it may be in the common language of various fields of knowledge, the notion of creation is not a priori very clear it requires a rigorous elucidation, first and foremost with regard to its meaning in theology. Regarded as an act of the one transcendent God, the notion of creation addresses the root origin of things. The very word 'creation' refers as much to the creative act as to its product, the world inhabited by man. As the author demonstrates, 'the notions of world and creation are moving vistas, for they alter with the advancement in knowledge'. It is this 'vista' metaphor which facilitates the 'presentation of the notion of creation as a condition of human activity, that of thinking and desiring'. Without skirting the question of evil, Jean-Michel Maldamé leads his reader steadily towards the discovery of this central notion. Thus, creation is apprehended as 'presence' which 'enables an escape from the anxious pessimism that dramatically separates the natural order from the Divine one, or installs opposition between Eros and Agape. It dismisses that positivism which hopes to find an extension of the supernatural in the abstract notion of Nature. So it appears that creation is neither the preliminary nor the first moment in God's work, but the ever-present expression of His love which, at each moment, generates the process by which all things are and come to be themselves'.
