AB - In this paper, I examine Dominique Janicaud’s position, in which he criticizes French phenomenology’s theological turn to theology In particular, he focuses to theological features of Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Marion’s works. According to Janicaud, although Levinas rely on phenomenological method to ground his ethical metaphysics, he inconsistently use the method, owing to his adherence to biblical God. Furthermore, Janicaud asserts that Marion violated phenomenological neutrality by introducing revelation as a central theological thema into his own phenomenology. However, I believe that although Levinas show phenomenological inconsistency, his philosophy does not veer into theology. This is because Levinas does not equate othernerss with God in his philosophy. And, since Marion’s philosophy is unfolded in a faithful way to his own phenomenological thought, he also does not perform theology disguised as a quasi-phenomenology. To validate these points, first, I elucidate Janicaud’s critiques of Levinas and Marion, and second, I will reveal weak points of his criticisms. Lastly, my argument will show that Janicuad’s minimalist phenomenology as a methodical atheism reduces inclusiveness of phenomenological spirit, which can includes questions of religious phenomena.
