THE NEO-PLATONIC IDEA OF PROCESSION AND RETURN AS  A STRUCTURAL RULE OF EXPRESSING THEOLOGICAL TRUTHS  AND ITS DECONSTRUCTIONAL REINTERPRETATION

 Every age requires that theology seek such a language that would allow the expression  of the revealed truths adequately to the way of thinking of contemporary people. That is  why theology benefi ts from the current philosophy. New philosophical tendencies however,  expressing the way of thinking of a modern man, may raise doubts as to their theological  contributes. It is so because e.g. some philosophical currents question previous philosophical narrations which may raise concerns that they controvert simultaneously the theological  systems based upon them. This situation is particularly visible actually, when one asks about  the legitimacy of the use of postmodernist philosophies in the sphere of theology.  Nevertheless, there is a possibility of transposing (translating) of the basic categories of traditional philosophies and their theological implications to the categories of new  and unverifi ed philosophical systems and this possibility proves the adequacy mentioned  above. The present article attempts to verify whether the basic categories of deconstruction may be compatible with the categories built upon the Neo-platonic philosophy.
