This book offers Hugh of Saint Victor's early scholastic thoughts
on sacrament in order to re-discover the pre-modern theological
understanding of ontological signification. The Christian
understanding of sacrament through the category of 'signs' results
in a theology that inherently shares in the philosophical notion of
semiotics. Yet, through the advent of post-structuralism, current
sign-theory is effectively shaped by post-Kantian, ontological
foundations. This can lead to misinterpretations of the sacramental
theology that predates this intellectual turn. The book works
within a context of Christological, realist mysticism. Such an
approach allows mutually informing debates in semiotic development
and studies on sacramental theology to sit side-by-side. In
addition, as a work of ressourcement, influenced by the methodology
and concerns of the historical, French Ressourcement, this study
seeks to continue an engagement with some of the most promising
sacramental positions that have emerged throughout
twentieth-century theology, particularly with the revival of
interest in Victorine theology. By providing an examination of
sacramentality and theories of signification in the early
scholastic theology of Hugh of Saint Victor, this book gives fresh
impetus to the theology surrounding sacrament. As such, it will be
of great interest to scholars of mysticism, theologians of
sacrament, philosophical theologians, and philosophers of religion.
