The Wounded Nietzschean-Thérèsian Spirit: An exploration of the similarities and not between Nietzschean and Thérèsian anthropologies

We seem to be faced by an urgent need to discern the important contribution spirituality can make at providing man today with a terminology and a horizon by which the twenty-first century human person can examine, first and foremost, the historical roots that shape the kind of anthropology he embraces today; secondly, the utmost need for dialogue (not just inter-religious but also beyond), and; thirdly, the nature and dynamics of the kind of anthropology that characterises being “wounded”, which we shall later define. We feel it superabundantly necessary to seek new language – and with it new horizons and insights – in this regard even within our Christian faith so as to really read the signs of the times.
