The discussions about subject and validation in our late modernity tend to oscillate between the ""weak"" self of postmodernity (""empty"" or ""rhetorical"") and neo-Cartesian versions trying, as they do, to recover a discredited foundation. Correspondingly, the solutions advanced range from calls for a ""New Enlightenment"" (in the face of the resurgence of myth and ""the irrational"") to attempts to ""re-enchant the world"" (in the face of the growing threat of an impersonal instrumental Reason).

The discussions about subject and validation in our late modernity tend to oscillate between the ""weak"" self of postmodernity (""empty"" or ""rhetorical"") and neo-Cartesian versions trying, as they do, to recover a discredited foundation. Correspondingly, the solutions advanced range from calls for a ""New Enlightenment"" (in the face of the resurgence of myth and ""the irrational"") to attempts to ""re-enchant the world"" (in the face of the growing threat of an impersonal instrumental Reason). The present study seeks to respond theologically to such a situation from the perspective of God's action in and towards the world by engaging two prominent philosophical/theological figures who continue to inform such discussions today, namely, Georg Friedrich Hegel and Paul Ricoeur. The upshot of this response points to a view of rationality that follows the drama of God's engagement with the world, thus involving both dying and resurrection, ascesis and abundance, suffering witness and eucharistic communion.
