Erich Przywara

The German Jesuit theologian Erich Przywara (1889–1972), renowned as a key figure in Catholic theology during the first half of the twentieth century, is perhaps best known today for his engagements with Karl Barth on the analogy of being. He served as a mentor to both Edith Stein and Hans Urs von Balthasar. The author of a vast body of work encompassing hundreds of publications, Przywara’s seminal text Analogia Entis: Metaphysics: Original Structure and Universal Rhythm is available in English translation.
