Tolkien and its Contemporary Relevance Allison Milbank Filosofía gift Tolkien exchange friendship Chesterton What could Chesterton and Tolkien have to offer to the contemporary political thought and practice? This essay discusses on what they share as a common project in their fiction and discursive writing, that is to find a way to acknowledge the value of the local and personal, while directing private good to the universal through the concept of the common good. This has implications for our response to environmental crisis as well as the manner in which we relate the one and the many. Here, mediating institutions such as friendship are all important, and are shown to be built on gift-exchanging and engagement. The sources of Chesterton’s thought in Anglo-Catholic and Guild socialism as well as in Hilaire Belloc’s Distributism are discussed, besides the roots of this political anthropology in a theology of creation as art and gift. 2021 artículo científico 2007-2406 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=421666393003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4216/421666393003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4216/421666393003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4216/421666393003/421666393003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4216/421666393003/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4216 Revista de Filosofía Open Insight application/pdf Centro de Investigación Social Avanzada Revista de Filosofía Open Insight (México) Num.24 Vol.XII |
