Abstract

After a unilateral predominance of the reason in Western thought (rationalism), there was a (re) discovery of the symbolic language and of the imaginary. Adolphe Gesché then develops a Theology that includes not only the reason, but also this imaginary as a theological place. In order to show the convenience of the imaginary as theological place, Gesché approaches it to the “Literary imaginary”.
