José Sánchez de Murillo OCD (born February 8, 1943 in Ronda , Málaga Province , Spain) is a Roman Catholic theologian and religious priest , philosopher and poet . He was a university lecturer .

Life

Sánchez de Murillo graduated from high school in 1960 in Córdoba , where he entered the Order of the Discalced Carmelites in the same year . From 1961 to 1963 he first studied scholastic philosophy and music (piano and organ) at the “Université Catholique” in Lille and completed his studies with a diploma examination. In winter 1963, he began studying theology and Spanish mysticism at the Teresianum in Rome, he with the 1968 Licentiate completed. He then prepared a dissertation on the subject of "Hope" in the light of Karl Rahner's philosophical-theological principles in Rome. In the summer of 1970 he traveled to Würzburg to get in contact with Heinrich Rombach and to discuss the possibility of a philosophical dissertation. In September 1970 he returned to Rome and completed his studies with a doctorate in theology on Karl Rahner's theology based on transcendental philosophy. He then taught theology in Rome. In 1971, he took leave in Rome and continued his studies in philosophy with minors in French Literature and Theology in Würzburg on. In 1972 he became a research assistant to Heinrich Rombach at the Institute for Philosophy, Chair I at the University of Würzburg . In 1973 he gave up his teaching position in Rome and began working on a dissertation on Jean-Paul Sartre . He also worked as a language teacher for French, Italian and Spanish as well as an ethics teacher at the municipal Schönborngymnasium in Würzburg. In 1976 he completed his studies with a philosophical dissertation on the phenomenology of Jean-Paul Sartre.

In 1976 he studied the work of Jakob Böhme , as well as Schelling , Schopenhauer , Scheler , Heidegger , Novalis and Franz von Baader . Sánchez de Murillo devoted himself to the latter in his habilitation thesis on German idealism and German romanticism .

From 1977 onwards, Sánchez traveled several times to Guatemala and Mexico for longer stays . The encounter with the misery and exploitation in these countries shook Sánchez and changed his relationship with science towards human closeness. Through the direct insight into this essentially “feminine” culture based on the plant - maize - he recognized a parallel to the concern expressed in German Romanticism with the word “Back to the mothers!”.

Sánchez led a "worldly life", married and was born on February 23, 1983 in Augsburg with his work The Spirit of German Romanticism. Franz von Baader's attempt to renew science. From Kant to Jacob Boehme for Philosophy habilitation after he had withdrawn his request Habilitation in Würzburg. This appeared in 1986 after a further three years of research with the new subtitle The transition from logical to poetic thinking and the emergence of depth phenomenology . From 1984 to 1988 he taught philosophy in Augsburg, from 1989 to 1992 in Granada.

After further “fateful events” he returned to the order, since only there it was possible for him to “love and be loved just because it was me”. In 1992 he designed the concept of an Edith Stein Institute for Phenomenology and Depth Phenomenology in Munich, of which he is chairman. In 1993 he took over the editorship of the newly founded Edith Stein Yearbook , which has since been commissioned and with financial support of the Teresian Carmel in Germany at Echter Verlag appears.

In the winter semester 1994/95 he taught philosophy again at the Teresianum. In January 1995 he visited Luise Rinser in Rocca di Papa . From this encounter a close friendship developed, which became humanly and literarily important for both and which was of fundamental importance for the development of the poetic dimension of depth phenomenology. Luise Rinser initiated the philosophical-meditative work Das Fünklein Mensch über Jakob Böhme (1997) and the epic Dein Name ist Liebe (1998), which she provided with a foreword. She also suggested the as yet unfinished epic God Appearance (1998). In 2011 he published a biography about rinsers. Her son Christoph Rinser also worked on the book that proves Luise Rinser's involvement in National Socialism and reveals the myth of her autobiography .

With the ninth volume People Who Search , Sánchez left the editorial team of the "Edith Stein Yearbook" in 2003. In the same year he founded - together with Martin Thurner - the new series “ Aufgang. Yearbook for Thinking - Poetry - Music ”and continued his teaching at the invitation of Martin Thurner with joint courses and in the field of senior studies at the University of Munich.

On June 20, 2014 he was awarded the Luise Rinser Prize as part of the “Music and Spirituality” conference in St. Ottilien . The prize is endowed with an unlimited monthly financial contribution to the living expenses of the philosopher.

On July 11, 2018, Sánchez finished his academic teaching career.

Philosophical approach

The depth phenomenology emerged from discussions with the natural philosophy of Jakob Böhme and with authors of German Romanticism , in particular Franz von Baader , and their discussion of Kant . Murillo's previous occupation with the theology of Karl Rahner and the phenomenologies of Edmund Husserl , Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre was important . According to his own account, research into Central American mythologies, especially the Mayan culture, the experience of human misery through stays in Indian villages of Guatemala, breaks in the history of life and suffering from the harshness of academic reality were just as important.

The two opposites of his world experience - music, mysticism, phenomenology, mythology of Mayan culture and German romanticism on the one hand (intelligible world), exploitation, despair, possessiveness, craving for validity, envy and war on the other hand (empirical world) - awakened the desire, the condition of this To explore conflict and find ways of reconciliation. Thus, the basic distinction emerged depth versus upper surface . Depth , in Sánchez the life-affirming “feminine”, means the dimension of the birth of life, life renewal, longing, the mind, compassion, life, love, the creative non-reason of being. On the other hand, upper surface , in Sánchez's combative “masculine” designation, denotes the dimension that has forgotten its origin and is dominated by wanting to understand, looking through, arrogance, striving for power, craving for recognition and money. Because of their finiteness and transience, humans are only ever able to make preliminary judgments and decisions, reinterpretations colored and tuned by the basic times of their life. The human being lives and acts in accordance with his being only and only if he, attached to nothing, corresponds to the incessant process of arising, becoming and passing away. "Fundamental ethics" describes the necessary process that leads people through "exposure" and "death" of the ego into the freedom that is possible for them as openness in limitation. The one-sidedness of the history of philosophy, science and culture, which has hitherto been understood as “masculine”, therefore requires a “depth phenomenological reading” which makes “the urgency of a female ontology” clear and which “could lead mankind towards the originally human”. This emerges holistically again and again from the union of the “feminine” with the “masculine”, the “surface” with the “depth”. Phenomenological philosophy as scientific research must therefore start from the very beginning with a view to historical tradition and contemporary reality, but at the same time also to the essence and possibilities of man. That is why Sánchez calls the depth phenomenology as a process of return to the origin "New Pre-Socratics". Since “male” categories and terms are inadequate and unsuitable for illuminating the “female” dimension of depth, the “depth phenomenological saga” has to be expressed poetically. “Depth phenomenology” or “depth poetry” ultimately intends a “loving science”, a “culture of feelings” and “awe of the impenetrable mystery”, which humanity urgently needs “after it has so far mainly lived in the head.” “The male The history of thought must follow the female life story in order to finally be able to unite them as the two sides of the same. "

Reception and criticism

In 1999, Christoph Münz rated Sánchez de Murillo's deep phenomenological interpretation of Edith Stein in its “philosophical talkativeness rather angry” in the Freiburg circular .

Benedikt Maria Trappen refers to the fact that Sánchez's thought was equally original with thinkers such as Jakob Böhme, Novalis, Hegel, Hölderlin, Feuerbach, Nietzsche, Buber, Rahner and the depth of the Upanishads, Yoga and Zen, who are essentially concerned with the abolition of religion. “Repeal” is by no means identical with “disappearance”. He also sees the origin of Sánchez's thinking from the structural phenomenological research approach of Heinrich Rombach, which Sánchez denies, who claims the sole intellectual copyrights to the term depth phenomenology and the dimension it refers to .

Roland R. Ropers and Rudolf Schermann judged in 2011 in Kirche In on the occasion of the publication of Luise Rinser's biography that Sánchez had seriously damaged the reputation of the Benedictine and Jesuit order with "the relentless disclosure of Luise Rinser's vitae (...)." At the same time they accused him of withholding essential own biographical facts. “José Sanchez de Murillo's personal lifestyle has many question marks and invites you to confront the truth. Just as the author and friend did with the biography of Luise Rinser. "
