Perichoresis

Description

Bruce Alderman, citing Peter Sloterdijk:

"[P]laces of God -- in non-theological terms, places of co-subjectivity or coexistence or solidarity -- are not things that simply exist in the external space. They only come about as sites of activity of persons living together a priori or in a strong relationship. Hence the answer to the question 'Where?' in this case is, in one another. Perichoresis means that the milieu of the persons is entirely in the relationship itself. The persons contained in one another in the shared space locate themselves in such a way that they illuminate and pervade and surround one another, without being harmed by the clarity of difference.
