| Summary: | By demanding collective strategies and agreeing individuals, the pandemic has not only exposed multiple kinds of otherness around us and between us, but even within us. In this article, I propose to theologically reflect on this situation by means of a perceptive hesitation. I do this with reference to Wolfhart Pannenberg's theology, and Alia Al-Sagi's critical phenomenology, both of whom draw on Henri Bergsson's descriptions of human temporality, and share the consideration of human independence as being integral to perceiving alterity. In the end, I identify where Al-Sagi and Pannneberg differ, and I go with Al-Sagi, and consider hesitation as a term for the temporal dimension and difference of faith as related to hope and the necessary condition for a loving body politics. |
