Philosophy

Vető's philosophy is coordinated along three interrelated foci:[10]

  1. The
    Hegel, Schelling), he has written on the thought of Alfred North Whitehead and Jean-Luc Marion
    .
  2. The
    Christian spirituality and theology. Vető has written on the religious thought of Simone Weil, Jonathan Edwards, Gabriel Marcel and Pierre de Bérulle
    .
  3. A constructive metaphysics, concerned with the "enlargement" of philosophical reflection by intercourse with themes drawn from religion, art and ordinary experience.
